[lace] Sulky
Mark I first heard about Sulky several years ago when someone posted a note about it on arachne. So I've been on the lookout ever since. They make threads of different fiber content, but they do have size 30 and size 12 in 100% cotton, both in many colors and many variegated colors (what they call blendables). Apparently both are used by quilters. I have some of the size 12 and it is really beautiful thread. I found an online American source: http://www.ericas.com/threads/ Lorelei - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

[lace] Sulky threads...
Hello Spiders - Not long ago, there was some interest on this list regarding the threads made by Sulky, and their applications in lace. I just came across this link which will give you lots of information about their threads, as well as their thread-storage box which has also been mentioned... http://www.hancocks-paducah.com/shop-html/aisles/Quilting_Tools/Sulky_Threads_Books_and_Interfacing/ Clay Clay Blackwell [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [lace] Sulky cottons
The Sulky Blendables are ordinary sewing-machine-size threads (probably 40- or 50-weight sewing cotton). Robin P.

RE: [lace] Sulky cottons
Hi Brenda, Actually the uniqueness is in the color, rather than the thread. The Blendables are the same size as Sulky cotton 12 and 30 count, so if you have those, the Blendables are the same.

[lace] Sulky cottons
Hi Sue, I had to look what was meant by bendable threads as I hadn't had any trouble bending my thread. :-) Now I can see that you meant blendable. I wonder if Brenda has these in her next version 3 book? I can see she will spend the rest of her life bringing out updates. :-) Janice One of my new students is a quilter really, and she brought some of the Sulky bendable to class to see what I thought of them. They look beautiful and feel nice . See http://tinyurl.com/alty7 or Hancock's of Paducah's website for the colour range.

[lace] Sulky cottons
Has anyone tried using Sulky's cottons for lacemaking and how did it work? One of my new students is a quilter really, and she brought some of the Sulky bendable to class to see what I thought of them. They look beautiful and feel nice . See http://tinyurl.com/alty7 or Hancock's of Paducah's website for the colour range. I can see I'm going to have to get some to try.
