I was visiting a friend yesterday and was borrowing some white thread from her for a small nautilus shell by Julie Pishke.
She lent me some of a great old thread which hasn’t been around for awhile.
Ooska.
If you ever come across any buy it, especially if you like 14 mesh canvas. You most likely will find it on eBay, estate sales, or thrift shops.
Ooska is a rayon pearl from Scandinavia. Because it’s rayon it has some shine, because it’s a pearl it is MUCH easier to use than stranded rayons. But unlike #3 pearl cotton, the “pearliness” (I can’t think of another word for the texture) is not so obvious or as hard.
I’m using it in conjunction with Silk & Ivory, Spring II and some silk pearl.
Cool stuff, I’ll post a picture over the weekend once I have some of it in.
