Example D using Sample #16, crocheted
Silk: Example D
Sample #16, fine silk singles have so many uses. I hope
to crochet my daughter's wedding gown out of a thread like this someday. This small
doily exhibits the qualities of the thread superbly. It displays the definition of
the pattern and is lustrous. It feels wonderful in the hand and will wear well
because of its tight twist and smooth surface. Garments from lace shawls to dresses
would be spectacular in this thread. Household laces would be very elegant.|
The doily was crocheted with a size 12 steel crochet hook.
The flower leaf and diamond pattern are of my own design. It was washed in Ivory
liquid, rinsed in herbal vinegar, blocked dry and steamed. Follow the same procedure
for future washings.
