I was in JoAnne Fabrics yesterday and came across some small spools of Coats
silk thread. ¬ÝThe label reads Coats 100% Seta Reale and 80m-nr100 made in
Hungary.
I did not see it in the Threads for Lace Edition 5 book but maybe it will be
in the new Edition. ¬ÝHow does it compare in wraps?Janice¬Ý¬ÝJanice Blair
I have used Coats Seta Reale and I really liked
the way it worked up. I prefer it to Guterman
silk.
I would describe it as very slightly coarser than
Madeira Tanne 80 (Cotona 80). The supplier
thought the wraps brought it nearer to Tanne 50,
but in using it, I felt it was finer than that.
It is finer and crisper than Guterman silk,
coarser than Piper's silk.
The colour palate for the nr 100 is limited (the
colour chart is on line somewhere) and I think
there are more colours in a coarser version, but
the colours available were what I wanted.
Here in the UK, Coats Seta Reale is carried by
Claire's Lace. (No affiliation, just a happy
customer).
Happy lace making to all,
