We
notice
these
apparently
trifling
differences
that
readers
may
comprehend
the
importance
of
obtaining
precisely
the
proper
materials
for
each
design.
If
we
prescribe
a
certain
article,
it
is
because
it
and
no
other
will
give
the
effect.
Transparent,
white,
or
silver
beads
are
usually
worked
with
white
silk,
but
clear
glass
beads,
threaded
on
cerise
silk,
produce
a
peculiarly
rich
effect
by
the
coloured
silk
shining
through
transparent
glass.
The
silk
used
must
be
extremely
fine,
as
the
beads
vary
much
in
size.
A
change
of
material,
which
might
appear
of
no
consequence
whatever,
would
completely
spoil
the
effect
of
the
design.
1874.
Fleecy
Wool.
Fleecy
wool
is
the
sort
of
wool
used
for
jackets
and
other
large
articles.
Some
of
the
tints
are
quite
as
brilliant
as
those
of
Berlin
wool.
It
is
made
in
3,
4,
6,
8,
and
12
threads,
and
is
much
cheaper
than
German
wool.
It
does
very
well
for
grounding
large
pieces
of
canvas
work.
1875.
Shetland
Wool.
Shetland
wool
is
very
fine
and
soft,
is
much
used,
and
prized
for
shawls
and
neckties
and
for
veils.
1876.
Eis
Wool.
A
pure
German
wool
of
silky
brightness,
is
used
for
the
same
purpose
as
Shetland
wool
excepting
for
veils.
It
is
also
used
instead
of
silk
for
embroidering
on
velvet,
as
tea
cosies,
&c.
1877.
Andalusian
Wool.
Andalusian
wool
is
a
medium
wool,
less
thick
than
Berlin
wool,
is
used
for
cuffs
and
shawls.
1878.
Other
kinds
of
Wool.
There
are
also
other
names
given
to
wools
by
the
vendors
or
manufacturers
of
them:
for
instance,
"The
Peacock
Wool"
and
"The
Coral
Wool"
are
trade
marks,
and
not
particular
wools.
