Silk, glorious silk

Carol-Anne Conway of Threads Across the Web blog posted some fascinating information about using Japanese flat silk in embroidery. She points out, “For optimum shine the silk is used flat, strands can be split for finer threads or combined if a thicker thread is required. The thread can also be twisted.” See the post.

And a post by Mary Corbet on Needle ‘n’ Thread blog follows up a bit on Carol-Anne’s article and adds a nice link to a source of silk embroidery thread. See the post.

If you want all the juicy embroidery info, you’ve got to keep your eye on these chicks!
