I have been using Gutermann's Silk Twist for gimps and love how they've come up in my lace. Great colours and great contrast to my working threads.
I have used Mulberry silks once before - I bought some of their whitest silk for the lace for my wedding gown, and it worked up wonderfully. I have some left and it'll be for a special project. I have some other unnamed ecru silk that is in a hank. Mum picked it up years ago and I have miles of it. It makes fabulous lace with a lovely drape and softness, although it's a bear to undo a messy tally with, since it's a little fuzzy. She also bought a cone of grey and a ugly shade of brown at the same time, and both are nice to work with - except for retro lace.
