Yep, that's the same problem I had, and mine is also 100/3 in ecru. I bought it last year for my table ribbon. It's working up just fine, and I haven't so far (touch wood, rub the hare's foot, etc) had breakages, etc (which is a problem in Denver's dry air). It just spins itself up into loops an

Thanks Jeri As usual very interesting. I can tell you that I visited Montacute House in 2003 and saw the said collection which just happened to be on display at the time. I understood that it is not always displayed as a collection. Unfortunately there was not a catalogue or postcards or any other
