Hi, Susan! Have you considered YLI #100? It's quite thin and comes in a nice variety of colors. And has that silk sheen, too. It's soft, unlike linen, but still has good stitch definition. Sometimes it can drop the hitch, mostly because it's slick, but I don't have trouble when I use a double-hitch.
just a suggestion, Robin P.

I've already got plenty of problems with the 'lace' threads! lol Besides I could always make something in white/ecru & dye it to my satisfaction later. Tatting cotton & Oliver Twist are too beefy for Honiton so finding a colored fine thread is high on my 'to do' list. I plan to try the Italian thread I purchased last year (Tre Stelle) when I get a free moment. I very much appreciate this thread discussion because I don't know what I don't know. Trying to get my learner's permit here! Sincerely, Susan Hottle, Erie, PA USA - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
