The thread that Sis brought is Valdani #12 and I had to try it right away. It is a two ply, very soft, inconsistent in texture. Yet, the stitches look good if I tat very tightly and concentrate on getting a consistent tension. I love the colours, which are very saturated and rich.
It is a different look and the thread though cotton seems to act like a very fine lace weight wool...

This is a great little pattern from Karey's publication for this quarter:
Just one more self-indulgent photo before the snow flies!
The leaves are pretty, but don't start talking about snow!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors.
ReplyDeleteSnow here today- all day. Better start raking!
Your leaves are beautiful! Valdani certainly comes in some wonderful colors!
ReplyDeleteAh, my favorite time of year!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you've hooked me on the Valdani... I love it!!
Beautiful leaf (to both kinds)
Now my thought is: Does the Japanese maple give edible sap,and how does it taste?? (I'm a big fan of Canadian Pure Maple Syrup)
Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDiane, The colour choices are wonderful, but it is VERY soft thread.
Lily - i think only the Sugar Maple is used for sap... But I am no expert!
Fox : )
BTW, when I mentioned that you hooked me on the Valdani.... silly me -- it was the Altin Basak you hooked me on.
ReplyDeleteOh, me poor brain... I really do need a transplant. Wanna switch? LOL
