Y'know, I use rayon for one project, a little drawstring purse to go
with my first SCA court garb.  I cursed that floss up one side and
down the other.  I have never seen any fiber degrade in the needle
like that one.  I was SO disappointed!  It's so pretty, too... not to
mention three times the cost of cotton floss.  Never again.  Silk or
cotton for me!
