The Thread Arrived, Project Begun
Well, the thread arrived last week and I’m very disappointed that it’s not what I wanted. I don’t know if I orderred the wrong size or they just sent the wrong thing. What they sent was a flat silk, not a twist and it was extremely fine. If you embroider, it’s like soie platte. Anyway, I sampled it and it works up beautifully, but it’s extremely fine. So, now what? I’m still trying to decide whether or not to order more thread in the heavier weight I wanted. In the meantime, I’ve decided to do a section of the lace in the lighter weight thread. I only got about half an inch done tonight, but I’ve worked out some of the kinks and it’s going faster now.
