candlewicking floss

ok - working on very very old UFO that uses a lot of "candlewicking
floss". I'm wondering if there is any real reason no to frog everything
I've done already and substitute something like a similar size and color.

This is supposed a be a "cotton floss" but is not acting like it. Its
someplace between a floche and a pearl cotton. Some twisting but not as
tight as a pearl. This stuff in the kit is shredding

Cheryl

if its shreding, i doubt its real candlewicking. frog and start over
is my opinion.

Don't' have a local source and this will work

You know I hadn't given candlewicking much thought lately. But the DMC floche should work nicely.

In case you're interested there is a lady who is a member of our Guild who sells kits. (Side note: she's a member that I've never met.)
