Have you ever wondered ?


So many times I buy Perle Cotton Thread
and there is a size difference in the balls.
(with same type and weight of thread)
Why ?




It makes me feel like one of the balls
was partially used...




Or maybe came unwound...
Not so.  
As it turns out, both balls hold the same amount 
of Perle Cotton Thread. It just depends on 
how tightly they were wound.

Also, some brands of Perle Cotton balls are 
wound on a "core", while others are not.

On to the gardens,
where I have been spending my time...

Today it is raining and chilly.
A great day to stitch with a big pot of 
Chicken Corn Soup with Rivals,
simmering on the stove.

Enjoy your day,
whether raining or sunny !
