I purchased a reel of Habu silk and stainless steel thread at a craft show last week, and have made up a simple gathered flower in bobbin lace in it (from Springetts Lace for Children of All Ages).
It works up fine. The thread does not retain a curl from having been wrapped around a bobbin, and the petals can be pushed into place and stay there, and if you don't like that position, you can push them into a different position, or flatten them, and they then stay like that, too. I am looking forward to experimenting more with the thread, and am looking for more ideas of what to do with it in bobbin lace. Has any else made items with it? You can read more about the thread at www.habutextiles.com <http://www.habutextiles.com/> .
