I am trying to describe a christmas decoration to dp and I have forgotten the word. It's tinsel-like but it's in strands and you drape it over the tree (although I don't think anyone uses it any more). Some people call it angel hair I think but the word is something like mishmalian or doralian or something. It's driving me mad!!! DP doesn't care any more -not sure he ever really did - but I'm going to go insane if I don't find the word! Have tried googling various things but as I've forgotten the word it's a bit difficult.

Thanks in advance!

lametta? Sometimes called angel hair I think

Lametta! Which is nothing like mishmalian or doralian, but it IS what you're describing, so maybe it has more than one name.

Lametta?

Lametta! Thank God! (and you all, more so really).

Not doralian or mishmalian then .

Can get on with the rest of my life now.

From henceforth, a mishmalian is a word that you do know, but just can't recall from the recesses of your memory. A doralian mishmalian is a special variety where it turns out that the word you're after is not the one you were thinking of at all ...
