If you are curious about silk chenille (or chenille threads in general), you will want to read what Mary Corbet has to say about stitching with chenille.

By the way, Nimble Needle has silk chenille from both Au Ver a Soie and Gloriana in stock, just in case you are tempted to try it out.

Thanks for this info Jane - it might be the answer to the nutcracker beard that I've been contemplating for a year!
Good luck, Peggi! Have you seen Diane Bosworth's Beards I Have Known? Great little book. She uses a lot of knitting yarns for her inventive beards. Just take a look at all the Petei Santa beards she's stitched for the French Knot over the years! Her booklet is available through the shop as she works there part time. http://www.thefrenchknot.com/x-petei.htm
