Many years ago, the makers of Thread Heaven posted on rctn. I dont know
for how long our archives are available, but if anyone knows how to find
this exchange, it could be of interest. My main memory is that Thread
Heaven is completely safe to use; the Smithsonian uses it. HTH.

I'll see if I can bring it up within the archives. I have been amazed
at how some of those old group messages still come up, even out on the
web.

Following up, I found quite a lot of conversations back to year 2000
as James suggested. However, one post (May 19 2000) by Roni Hennen
of Adam Beadworks caught my eye. She talked about life span of floss
being 5-25 years and that TH would help with drag. She said, in her
very long post, "Take a close look at the last few inches of one of
those 2 1/2 yard lengths of floss that we all like to use. All
tattered and frayed, a mere shadow of its former self!! Its already
gone through the first 75 of its 100 years. Thread Heaven greatly
reduces thread drag."

Frankly, I couldn't manage a piece of thread 90 " long (2 1/2 yards).
I would have it tangled around my toes, the cat and knots and loops
everywhere. The most I ever pull off is about 18. I hope Roni was
being facetious but I'm not sure. I have samplers that are beyond the
25 year mark and they look as good now as the day I stitched them, all
without the benefit of any floss amendment. Of course, they don't get
direct sun, I don't smoke and my house air is dry, not moist and
moldy. As for taming those metallics and bf, I will give it a try
someday when I get to a store that sells it since I see some of you
like it. Meantime, I'll try Karen's suggestion as it costs
nothing. :-)
