This extraordinary thread is the most friendly we know. It behaves well in every situation and will not twist, fluff or bounce. It is comprised of a special blend of 80% rayon with 20% polyester metallic that has a bold, slightly thick texture. The blends of colour are outstanding; each spool is twisted with black for a dark undertone and the bold denier of the thread lends itself to outlining and accent stitching in designs. A large eye needle 90/14 or 100/16 is recommended.
