And Karen, you all are doing such a great job!
Darn, I remember that star lid, but I can't find it!

I am not falling for this, Ann. I think my memory of one came from my mom having one.

Lampshade is great - could see the detail much better when I looked at enlarged photo, looks so cool with the light shinning through. I did not know what silk carrier rods were until recently! I have just been looking at Zeds tutorial for de-gumming throwsters waste so the same would work for silk rods?

Janekiwi Carrier rods don't de-gum well, they just disintegrate. However, they take the dye very well without de-gumming and retain their texture and form.
You can separate the rods into 2 or 3 layers - a bit like separating layers of Kleenex. They need a long soak in vinegared water before dyeing and go into the dye bath wet.
I dye in the microwave in small batches. There is a post in the dyeing section.

even silk hankies which are pretty thin it take a long soak to get them properly wet before dyeing. they really do need to be properly wet because if they are not wet in places they will not dye.
