Hello Jean
I have a pattern for a crocheted miser's purse, which calls for "purse
silk" as the thread. Anyone got suggestions on what this is?
I've not heard of "purse silk" as such but I'd suggest that it was a
filament/reeled silk for strength and firmly twisted (ie not a floss
silk) to a minimise snagging.
The size of crochet hook suggested would give a rough indication as to
the thickness of the thread which needs to sit comfortably within the
hook. I have quite a few old crochet hooks inherited from my Grandma,
so I could try the appropriate one with modern crochet cotton to get an
idea of the wraps/cm measurement
