[lace] Re silk thread at JoAnne's

2006-08-21 Thread Lorri Ferguson
How would you rate/gauge the thread size as related to 'lace' threads?
Have you made up any thing yet, how did it handle?

Lorri

  JoAnne's periodically has half-off all threads.  I'd recommend waiting
  for the next thread sale--that's what I did.

   I was just at my local JoAnne's and found Gutermann Silk thread in
  the 'sewing thread section'.  There were about a dozen colors (on spools
just
  like cotton sewing thread).

If it was intended for general machine sewing it was probably Gutermann 
100/3 (S303) which I've measured as 27 wraps/cm.  Would suit torchon 
drafted on a 2mm grid, as do most ordinary sewing machine threads.
