<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 6040944, member: 76316&quot;]Purl is a word used with this type of thread, but there are differentiations based on the support fiber, and on the cross-section of the wrapping material. This is a flat tape (technically rectangular in cross-section). The look is certainly meant to represent silver &amp; gold...but I&#039;ve no idea what these truly are. Contents &amp; bag weigh ~32 grams...in the hand it feels heavier than it should...whatever that means. The way the loops are gathered an&#039; tied off with what looks like wrapped paper tells me that&#039;s how it is sold, in &#039;hanks&#039; (I&#039;m sure there&#039;s a more correct name for that, but...). I&#039;d like to know whether it&#039;s vintage of modern, and how...if at all...to determine the true nature of the two metals. Do any of you needle-wizards have any familiarity with this stuff, or similar? Thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]417882[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417883[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417884[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417885[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
