silk mori

Kreinik “Silk Mori� – Disappointing quality- No we do not stock this
thread.

Silk Mori comes in pretty colors, and from a distance it looks like Soie
d’Alger. Up close the difference is easy to see. Not only does Silk Mori
have a looser twist than the other stranded silks, it actually untwists as you
stitch with it. Both on the skein and stranded it has a very rough look to it,
and an irregular waviness. It is also less smooth to the touch. This affects
the look of cross-stitches and satin stitches with; both have a bumpy
appearance. A strand of Silk Mori breaks more easily than does Needlepoint
Inc. The overall impression is of a thread that is brittle and lacking in
integrity. Finally, the color selection is not very extensive, although Kreinik
is adding shades. If you have a chart that calls for Silk Mori we would be
happy to convert the color/numbers to another brand of silk. Soie d’Alger
would be the best because the colors are most similar.

OH BOTHER !
