Embroidery 16th century questions
Feb. 4th, 2010 01:00 pmI'll probably end up posting this to the garb list but...
Does anyone know of any references to a silk wool blend embroidery thread being used in the 16th century? I'll happily take references to earlier as well or the early part of the 17th c. I've seen wool thread and silk thread used independently but I can't recall of any being a blend of both wool and silk. I'm mostly looking in England but anywhere in Europe would be helpful.
