This is "Rainforest". It is still wet in this photo. It's in the sunshine drying right now along with some other colors.
I've always thought that 6 cord Hakelgarn had a special sheen to it and many of my customers have remarked upon that shine.
But it pales in comparison to the shine of the 100% SILK thread. Just take a gander at the photo. Silk on the left, Hakelgarn on the right.
I am really tickled with the silk thread so far and am working on a couple of silky tatting projects.

Very pretty color, and I definitely see a difference in the sheen! Does the silk have a strong scent? It might be something in manufacturing, but I always can tell where the silk clothing is in a clothing store by its scent. Dave says I'm crazy... he can't smell it.
Oh yes, Diane, I know what you mean. Silk definitely has it's very own scent.
Gorgeous colours, Sherry, I'm sure Sue will be tickled pink - or should that be purple and lime? LOL
I bet the silk is lovely to work with!
You must have an amazing sense of smell Diane. I had to go sniff the threads after reading your comment and guess what? This silk does smell slightly different than the other thread. I never have noticed that.
Oh, you are killing me. All of these are so lovely. The silk definitely makes a difference.
Can someone direct me to a site with directions(visual) on using a shuttle? I am currently needle tatting & just bought a shuttle but can't figure it out. I am blonde you know....
