Q 1)I would choose cotton for almost everthing, with silk for the scarf.
Q 2) 40 w/cm linen in colours fine enough for Bucks Point. -- We can hope!!!

I am using
I have used rayon on a christening dress because the satin was such a bright
white and the cotton looked dull against it. I cannot see why you cannot use
it for wearables.
A lot of clothes are made in synthetics are`nt they??
Brenda once said to me If you like it and the size is right use it.
I'm really looking forward to the answers to this survey as I'm new to
lace making and although I suppose I could answer the first question,
the second one is way over my head atm.
Hoping to learn from this.

Rayon alone for BL is a bit slippery and not very stable in the
finished lace. I've used rayon in mixed thread projects, such as large
scale scarves, though I do try to balance it with a good sprinkling of
linen.
Choosing a pattern with lots of twists helps stabilise the slippery
thread;
Hi all, I think someone should point out Rayon is not a synthetic thread,
like Nylon, but a man made thread made from trees. As many of you know I use
the Rayon in many of my patterns, usually as Brenda say, as the workers.
If you get a spool of some Rayon's and Nylons and lay it down if

Hi again, I looked up Rayon and found, Because it is produced from natural

Rayon
Manufactured fiber composed of regenarated celluose. Different types of
rayon includes viscose rayon (made from wood chips) cuprammonium rayon made

Well, it's an important distinction!! If we could have that fabulous
ultra-fine linen from way back, I'd choose that over anything else
except maybe silk in some cases.
And the reason cotton is so prevalent in my list is that it (and silk)
are the only choices available for fine threads (no
I once made a rayon motif to go on a t-shirt. It was rayon machine
