I have been busy preparing a lecture and presentation about lace for our local senior citizen club, and had no time till to day to follow the breaking thread "thread".
I live in a very dry area in Israel, practically on the desert line. I never had trouble with threads breaking or drying and have never taken my Honiton pillow into the shower. Perhaps the threads do get some moisture but how about all the straw in the pillow which gets humid and later on tarnishes the brass pins?! I Usually work with Egyptian cotton (various sizes) and never had any trouble, even if the piece of lace was sitting on the pillow for over a year. I did have trouble with Brok threads, though.
