You will be very happy with your decision to use silk gauze for your rug. For one thing the silk is so fine that you will find that the holes are quite large. (well, large is a relative term!)

The best price for silk gauze is from Bobbie Schoonmaker at www.micro-stitchery.com Bobbie is usually extremely quick in filling orders and will get the silk out to you in a timely fashion. I just checked her web site and she has 24 and 32 count gauze. I don't know what your rug design is like but you may be able to easily omit a segment or add a boarder to get the final size you are looking for.

Petitpointers@yahoogroups.com has lots of experienced, talented members who are very generous with help, support and sharing of their own experiences with you. You will be able to find any additional help, support and supply sources etc. etc. there.
