I have just a day or so ago received a sample of silk "from someone in Switzerland who had obtained it from Burkhard" I'm still awaiting a scan of the label but I suspect that it *might* be Pagoda silk thread. I believe that Pagoda is a knitting yarn. The sample I have is a 9 ply 'floss-type' of thread which I measured to 14 wraps/cm Brenda in Allhallows www.brendapaternoster.co.uk - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
