speaking the truth

As Evil Kirsten points out, on wool you want to use wool thread if you can, or otherwise silk, or some other protein-based material. Linen is cellulose based and is less good on wool. (I have been known to geek out at the White Wolf and Phoenix booth, discussing the materials science of fabrics with customers *Megan's eyes glaze over*...)

I'll have to check MOL, off the top of my head I think linen may have been used in period sometimes. I generally use silk, and I remember reading that wool thread on wool was generally earlier (than late 14th...) or lower class by that time.

I was at 12th Night, but I'm afraid I don't remember. So many new people and things... We were the ones in the fur-trimmed 15th century clothes.

Glaring red wool, with this bright white pelican screaming "TARGET! SHOOT HERE!" on the back.

Hee... isn't that what being a Pelican means??? ;-)
