Dear Arachnes,
Sorry for taking so long to respond to this - I wasn't fully reading all of
the postings recently. I was very busy at the end of the school year and
then we went on a vacation to the west coast of Canada.
Kreink is selling off their supply of Au Ver A Soie through their Yardsale
on their website as they are now producing their own brands. The Au Ver A
Soie is called Soie Platte but is the same as Soie Ovale. You have to buy
a large number but if several people went in together it might be worth
it. I've included the link:

I bought some of the 50m a while ago and the colours were wonderful. The
10m selection is quite reasonably priced especially if several people go in
together.
They are also selling the Soie Alger but I haven't bought any of it:

Hope this doesn't come to late.

But that begs a question... Where do I get "Alger Silk (1 strand/7)"
(whatever that means... 7 waht? Cm? Inches? I'm supposed to have 2 skeins
of 8 meters of that, to wind on 36 bobbins)? Also, what's a good source of
"Ovale Silk 5 different colours (one bobbin for each colour)"? Neither of
them resides in my stash; for my previous experiments in coloured French
laces I used Pipers silk (as required)
Brenda's book ("Thread for Lace" -- without which, not) does have both
threads listed and, I suppose, following her measurements, I could find
substitutes. But -- vide above -- I prefer to stick to what the teacher
tells me, the first time out.
Advice on sources (preferably in US or Canada) for those threads will be
gratefully received.
