Hi Jacquie and Sue, et al,

Your threads (both metaphorical and physical ..) made me smile!I have 
quite a stash of Oliver Twists, but also quite a few of the late Mr Piper's 
silks in beautiful colours.He was a lovely man, and he used to let me 
have 'left-over' reels of coloured silks when my Mother was 
hand-embroidering pictures, so I have quite a lot which I feel are far too 
wonderful to use.   The polythene packets are a good idea to keep them dry 
and clean, though!

Sue said  Went to the Ally Pally on Sunday to the Knitting and Stitching
Show and Oliver Twists Threads were there , so guess who is sitting here
drooling over the beautiful coloured silk threads and wondering what to do
first, what a dilemma.

Are you supposed to *do* something with them

Most people seem to keep them in their little colour-range packets.  They
are much easier to drool over that way and they don't get damp!  VBG

Drooling and dreaming over the wonderful colours are therapeutic in 
themselves!


I have just bought some of Bart  Francis' blue silks, and haven't a clue 
what to do with them, but the blues against the gold are just so beautiful.
