    Quite so, possibly harder under certain conditions. It does however
    give you a noticeably longer working time between anneals. In this
    regard it is more like --but not the same as-- the working properties
    you'd expect from fine silver. 

    I'm not a braider, chocheter, kniter nor weaver so I couldn't say
    whether it would be appropriate for those applications or not. Beth's
    experience and the quality of her work is considerable indeed: I'm
    sure she knows of what she speaks.
