Using pearl cotton #5
Okay, I know I have read this somewhere but right now I can't find it. When
I want to stitch with #5 cotton, do I separate the thread at all or use it in one strand as it comes from the skein? I bought some Weeks Dye Works #5 Confetti to make a quick teacher ornament and suddenly drew a blank on usage. Thanks in advance for your help on this. I promise to write the directions in my book this time. Anita in Alaska |

I agree - use as it comes from the skein. Also, be sure you don't work with
a really long thread, since pearl loses its sheen after a while. Phyllis Maurer "Harry and Anita" wrote in message ... Okay, I know I have read this somewhere but right now I can't find it.

Thanks for the responses. I'm doing the Sekas & Co. Stained Glass ornie
from JCS Ornament issue from a few years back. It is working up quick and I like how the colors are flowing. Might have to buy more and make some for next year.
