Re: Silk Color

I don't remember where I saw it (I'm old, gimme a break), but someone did a nice photo story of silk colors, both wet and dry, and waxed and not waxed. Wish I could remember where that was. Knowing the color shifts helps immensely.

Re: Leisenring for sale

My $22 copy of "The Book" arrived today. I don't think it's ever been read. There is some slight damage to the paper cover, but the spine is still stiff, as if it's never been opened. Seems like someone bought it and stuck it on a shelf. It's in much better shape than my $50 copy.

Beautifully dressed, Norm. I'm curious to know if the original pattern was dressed with silk thread. Looks like I need to look that one up.

Re: "Drinking Straw Wrangler" (DIY tying tool)

Ray, you never cease to amaze me!!!!!! Footnote - I couldn’t help but notice that your FLymph Forum mug includes a teabag of the twinings variety. Do yourself a favor and get yourself some Barrys Gold – you’ll never go back! 😀😀 Saw your suggestion and gave Barry's Gold a try. You were correct. Very...

Really nice, Bill. I can see this in quite a few colors as well. Going to be a busy winter.
