One of the benefits of a thread made specifically for lace.
I too love it. It makes the nicest lace.

Hi Vivienne and all spiders,
I totally agree with you, I first purchased Finca thread from you at a
lace
day after seing lots of your work on show made with same. I have made
several Bucks patterns with it (my favourite) and whenever I have it
on a
pillow everyone asks "what thread are you using?" I think it must be
the
beautiful sheeny neat finish it gives, it certainly catches the eye.

Subject: [lace] the start of Finca
Hi, I thought some of you might be interested in "people power". When
we
were
in Spain visiting the Finca factory we were told how it started. The
Great
(I
think great) grand father of the family saw how his wife had trouble
with
her
sewing threads snapping and causing problems so he spun and made his
own
threads. His wife found them very good so he then took them to the
local
shops but
no one would take them. They all got thread from the big famous
companies
and
were not interested in his. He went home very disheartened but then
decided
he would give his thread away. He took samples to all the ladies
groups he
could find and told them to try it. They all loved it. they then went
to
the shops
and asked for Finca threads but of course they didn't have it. Then
they
approached him and asked for it! Finca (means sort of a small holding
where the
grandfather lived) was born. I know it sound sort of like Aesop
Fables but
it is
a true story. I think it's great, Vivienne
