My second attempt came out much better. I relaxed my wraps and closed slowly and not tightly which was twisting the clunies.
If you look closely you may even spot where I added a thread in the middle of a cluny. I used a split ring to climb to the second row and magic threads to hide the ends.
I do like this thread as it is very strong and smooth to work with. A vintage size 30 thread this finished coaster is 7 cm or 2.75 inches across. Another row or size 20 would make this a perfect size for under a glass but for now it is off to cheer up a friend and fits nicely on the card below.
