It was fine to work with and everything seems secure. Though more so when it was waxed.

I bought a few spools of Gutermann's silk yesterday, one of which is a sort of variegated olive colour. It is labelled as Gutermann Sulky 100% cotton, CA02776, COL4020. It's a little thicker than Pearsal's, so getting a nice head was difficult, but I like the results. http://i159.photobucket.com/alb...
