Can I do this? There is a little thing called a skein splitter...available from Gale Marshall at http://www.comnet.ca/~tatsall/ NAYY
You will be agast when you see how simple it is....but it works for me. I just made leaves from various flosses and had full skein lengths of thread to use. Generally I do not like to use floss, too soft, but sometimes the colors are worth it. Like Robin, I prefer tatting , topstitching and quilting threads. etc., for color.

Just a number of people who pointed out how hard it is to get BL-length single plies out of that 6-ply skein. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
