For cotton floss, I use 30cm (abt 12 inc) of 2 strands, made up of 1 long strand of 60cm doubled up. This is about 2 pulls of the skein (or 4 times the length of the skein). To minimise knotting, dampening the strand helps a lot. When the strand has dried, I run it thru thread wax (Thread Haven works as well i guess).
30cm (2 strands) makes 30 stitches comfortably. This includes the tucking in at the end of stitching. If I need to stop and restart, then no more than 26 stitches.
Cheers, p |
