As for the...I love when I am able to save somethig! As for the beads, a good advice I got from irina Astratenko's booklet for tatting and Ankars tatting. Always test the beads you want to insert in your tatting by letting them for at least a couple oh hours in water with wash pulver. If they do not change color, they're good for Ankars... And she siad it is only with pulver not with the liquid soap; why, I could not tell just a French teacher and passionned tatter, not a chemist.
