Dear Arachnians, For those of you who want/need Gutermann´s Silk! I have fallen for Sandy Woods´ book Special Effects in Bobbin Lace and the lace she has made there. As I wanted to have a go, I began to chase after Gutermann´s Silk in the nearest haberdasher´s shop. To be told: " We are discontinueing this line of thread as nobody buys them any more. Everybody prefers the polyester thread today!" I was allowed to go through their remaining stock, found but a few usefull shades listed in the book. I want to start from the very beginning of the book, so I am rather frustrated att the moment. Do you have any trouble getting the silk, any of you? One shopkeeper told me Gutermann´s had started a new line of silk, with less shades and more on the spols, 100 meters instead of 50 meters. I had hoped I could get the thread in Sweden instead of having to send for it from abroad. I do know of Pipers Silk, have even got some silk when visiting the factory a loooong time ago. But it is not the right shade nor enough for the job I attempt to do. I just want to give you all a warning that it could perhaps be difficult to find all the thread that is needed. Have a lovely summer with lots of lacemaking time! Ewa from the very South of Sweden.
