i don't want anything fuzzy for lace making, so i will look at something else other than the angora, but i am going to mix the ramie
with the cotton and try it out. the types of things i had planned to make were table mats, and the ramie mix would look great on something like that. i also agree that i wouldn't want to wear something itchy and ruff, so if the pattern were a collar and cuff set i would definitly not use that type of thread. i think it is more important to have the correct size thread for the pattern than a specific type of material. i plan to buy a small amount of the size of thread the pattern calls for and use it as a guage for what size to spin. i have already been through having to enlarge a pattern to fit the size of thread that i had. it wasn't that hard, but it wasn't worth it. i wouldn't say i won't do it again, but i would definitly try to avoid it if i could. thanks for the good advice. ===== from susan in tennessee,u.s.a. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
