Madeira silk embroidery floss, used for fine embroidery, is also just the right silk for braiding, especially with the disk or plate!
Here's a braider's dream: want a beautiful thick
silk, inexpensive, lots of colors, that you can easily braid
with your disk or plate as well as the marudai?

From Madeira threads: a thick, lustrous, silk 4 strand embroidery
floss, about the same size as a #5 pearl cotton.
If you are braiding an eight
strand, two color braid, with each strand about a yard long,
you need only one pack of each color to complete your braid.
A four color, sixteen strand braid would need one pack of each
color.
Color sheet also available, see bottom of page.
