This gorgeous 8wt, 2-ply 100% long stable Egyptian cotton thread is double-gassed and mercerised, resulting in a wonderfully smooth and lustrous surface that allows the thread to glide beautifully through all types of fabrics and fibres. The thread's tight twist creates beautifully firm stitches while its surface sheen produces a luxurious finish to embillishment stitchery. 5 g balls (38.4 m/42 yd)
