Hi,

Nice to "see" you here! And what a beautiful web site you have. I just read your bio/tribute to my friend Poul - he would have liked it, I think.

I have tried horse hair. I had one with me at the Catskill gathering, should've brought it out. I've tried silk, gel-spun, mono, floro, and a host of materials from craft shops, etc. For what I do, I really like UniThread, but there are a lot of good use-specific choices.

I've just gathered some Morgan horse gelding tail hair, "blond", and in much longer strands than those I've knotted together (thanks so much to our FAOL friends for the original strands, though). I think I'll like it better. I use the Walton's engine method, but I think I'll read this new book and see what maybe looks best/better.
