Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques Hey, y'all!
I have bought some of the pink Holland, and the blue Mason, and they're marked pure silk on the label, and they burn-test as silk. This is a STEAL, fine filament silk for $16 per pound. I have put in an order for some of the "chocolate red," which is a different brand - haven't seen this one yet - but I'm fairly certain from the quality of the other stock, this will be good silk also. This is a fine filament silk thread two-ply, probably about 400 denier or so. Thicker than sewing thread, finer than buttonhole silk. It's 6600 yards per 8-oz cone, which puts it at 1320 yards per pound. http://stores.ebay.com/AJmax-Mart_Embroidery-Thread_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZ11910673QQftidZ2QQtZkm Note: some of the colors with W, are variegated. You may want that - it's not my thing. Might be capable of being overdyed or color-removed, but YMMV.
