While I like the look that metallics give, I hate working with the threads. Ditto rayon!
I like the look of variegated threads, ESPECIALLY overdyeds, but they need to be stitched one cross at a time instead of one row at a time to have full effect... and that slows me down a lot. Also, I can't loop start variegateds... so I have to accept messy backs and constantly fussing with thread ends coming loos, another frustration.
I LOVE silk --- the look *and* the feel. I just wish it wasn't so expensive.
