looks a bit like some thread that india flint sent me, from beautiful silks in australia. if so, it is lovely to stitch with. i will mail you off a little sample. just so you can compare.

Do you use that thread for hand stitching? Or is it a couching thread? Its hard to tell from the picture just how thin it is.

Oh wow! I just found some silk thread in my local yarn store that I talked myself out of but then I decided to go back and get (probably tomorrow). It may be the same thing or very similar…

2/60 is fine, very fine, it would make a beautiful knitted lace cobweb, almost invisible and so light on the shoulders…k.
