A quick query

[stellar_muddle]

When doing a black and white design in silk (tent stitch) is it tidier/cleaner to do the black then the white, or the white then the black, or doesn't it matter?* **

*WCOB Pelican cloak badge for those who care.

** After much walking in search***, I have half the silk I need. Shop (Nancy's, 20 min walk away at brisk pace) was out of of black (mutter mutter mutter, on order now, may be at least a week) but had the white.

*** At least a nice warm sunny autumn day for walking but I wouldn't guarantee that next time...

I tend to think it's best to do the white last (less chance of getting it grubby).

It doesn't really matter. Given you don't have the black, start with the white first.
