Regarding thread but slightly off the center track -
Heirloom Creations had a visit from the president of Aurifil. They did a video and put it on You Tube. He had a lot to say about how the thread is manufactured - through all of the steps, how it is best used by type and weight, how to protect it from deterioration, and other things I never knew. Interesting and helpful.
if I poked my nose into the wrong QB thread, the wrong way, etc., please forgive me and let me know how to do better next time.
Thread for me is like chocolate truffles. More! More!
