Dear Arachneans I went to my local needlecraft store on Saturday to buy some Sylko sewing cotton, the sort you use for dressmaking. I've been buying it in 1,000 m reels and using it for lace. To my surprise they didn't have any, according to the ladies in the shop it was withdrawn and replaced by Coats Cotton some years ago. (Shows how quickly I make lace!)
I have 2 questions, first how similar to Sylko is the Coats Cotton? Does anyone know whether it would work up similarly to Sylko? And second, the ladies in the shop told me that the company took all their supplies of Sylko away and they understand that it was to be sent abroad. Does anyone know whether this is true and if so where did it go and why? Alison in Essex UK, where its not as sunny as it was earlier in the day, and not as warm as I would like. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
