Challenges with Vintage Thread



 It appears that vintage yarn can be somewhat fragile.  I had a bit of a mishap while sewing the edging on; the double strand actually unravelled after it broke!  That was a first - and a bit challenging to repair.  I wonder how the socks will fare in the wash....

  1. They are really sweet! I hope they wash OK. I would have thought that if the thread could tat it would be strong enough. Maybe it was just a fluke weak spot.

  5. Hi, Ann, Patrycja, Paula and M,

    Thanks for the visit! I enjoyed the pattern. Maybe I'll try it again, but there are so many choices!

    The thread is Olympus #20. It is a wonderful thread - smooth and silky, I love it.
