Owl tea towels a present .Owl designs are from Embroidery Library -Owl days of the week but I cut out the day names & changed all the colours to black.
The owl head is from Nicoles Designs.I was having trouble with the black thread ,so when the design was symmetrical I gave in.

145791Lovely job you have made of these.
Black thread is the worst for playing up. I was once told it has to do with the dying process it makes it hairy. I don't understand why it only affects black.

Thank you.
Years ago the local Bernina man told me black was the worst colour for playing up, but I think he hot humid weather had something to do with it because both brands that played up ,had been used when the weather had been mild without any problems.

What does "played up" mean? I've don't recall having heard that phrase before.
