Hello Jenny and everyone Your Finca 100 will do, keep in mind it is different in grist from silk thread. I made a small roundel from Ruth's book, with Clover sewing machine silk 100, and used a very thick French silk floss for the gimp. This fine silk produced a surprisingly firm fabric (the gimp was more flopsy), so while I agree with Jane about the drape quality in a large piece, with the small item, the many twists used throughout encourage stiffness. I was impressed with the use of contrast in thick and thin threads, and must say the results, even by my hand, were exquisite! Now I want to borrow that book again...so many laces...
