I spent part of the night thinking on solutions so this morning I gave all of them a try.
From the top:
sliced fabric - not bad but heavy
Shredded cheesecloth - not bad but I have no yellow. Yes I could make some but this was so fragile.
Light cotton yarn - wound on a ruler - nice behaviour, but I only have that colour
Light cotton yard + jute - this is better. The courser nature makes it easier to handle and it looks more natural.
Thread - 2 colours - really dense.
They all have their merits. I ran these samples past hubby. He suggested pairing the last two.
I folded the coarse over the thread. I really like the density here.
( That's why I keep hubby.......and he cooks!)
But the proof is on the wall.
I think I found my method.
This will take a while. I had been using the wash away stabilizer to wrap the base, but I'm a little leery of washing it. I'll try netting before I go any further.
