Is it possible to substitute worsted knitting wool to finish the edges of a
needlpoint which was made using 4 ply tapestry yarn? I remember reading some time ago (sorry, no idea where) about a British needlepoint teacher who tried this. She made herself a needlepoint tote bag in which she mixed both Persian and knitting yarn, on the theory that in many small towns knitting wool is much more available than the Persian. She reported that she had carried this bag back and forth across the Atlantic several times, and all through the U.S and Britain on teaching trips, and the knitting wool held up just as well as the other.

Is it possible to substitute worsted knitting wool to finish the edges of a
needlpoint which was made using 4 ply tapestry yarn? It might be the same size, but np tapestry yarn is woven tighter than knitting worsted. The worsted might not hold up when pulled through the canvas mesh a bunch of times. Boo |
