Recommended needles and thread for all of Carol's lentil herringbone weave projects
0·NM·010 size 10° milliners' needles 25 pcs/$2.00
THREAD: choose one of any of the following:
0·PT·012·20 white 20 lb Power Pro® 28 yds/$5.50
0·PT·975·20 gray-green 20 lb Power Pro® 28 yds/$5.50
0·PT·012·15 white 15 lb Spectra® Fiber® 50 yds/$6.95
0·PT·975·15 gray-green 15 lb Spectra® Fiber® 50 yds/$6.95
Note: Carol says it's easier to thread Power Pro® or Spectra Fiber® through the round eye of a milliner's needle,
than through the long oval eye of a beading needle. That's why she specifies milliners' needles here. Bead & Button recommends size 11° beading needles..
