Peri Lusta FILO- any one know what this is!
Cheryl:
This was a UK product (manufactured who knows where) and actually I found it still on sale at Dainty (a UK wholesaler) a few years ago. More or less a pack of assorted skeins on the low end of the price range. I too have some bits of it from old work baskets. Linn Skinner Skinner Sisters www.skinnersisters.com "Cheryl Isaak" wrote in message ... The saga of the floss goes on! I found this stuff in some very old stuff that may have come from my mother or grandmother. It is a skein like DMC and your typical 6 strand cotton floss. It has an interesting texture - softer than DMC or Anchor? The plies don't seem tightly twisted, but short of finding a higher power magnifying glass or a microscope and doing a side by side comparison... Any thoughts? Cheryl |

The name rang a bell in the depths of my fuzzy mind. I suspect this is

Nice of you to offer, Cheryl. However I have far too much stuff around here,
