Randi from The World in Stitches has a very neat tip for Silken Straw. She says, "More on Silken Straw, which I also picked up at market: You can run a needle down the length and split it into strands, putting together the desired number and using a laying tool!"
Very clever, Randi! Since I think Silken Straw too wide for many stitches on 18 count, this is a very useful thing to know. By the way, anyone in the Concord or Lowell, Massachusetts area who wants to see Silken Straw in person can check with Randi at the shop.
