FdA 958

Here it is:


I like it, of course.

Here's a close-up of the floral motifs:


Now on to the next doily!  Which starts by dithering over whether I have enough thread to make Lavori 7/30 and if it's good enough quality.

I expect the 210-round doily to take somewhere between 1500 and 2000 yards of thread.  Do I have 2000 yards of anything I'm willing to use?  Is 2200 yards of thread excessive?  Is 1600 yards enough?

Also, the vintage Clark's thread is kind of meh in quality, or at least the #30 is.  I might have enough of it, but should I try to get something better?  A large doily is a serious time commitment.

Luckily I have plenty of other things to distract me while I dither.
