Use one ply for cross stitch on 11-20 count fabric, or cross stitch over two threads on 18 count fabric. Quilters use for big stitch, tied quilts, crazy quilts. 10 yard skein.
Also known as a blending filament, this fine, sparkly metallic thread is available in a wide variety of colors. When used in the same needle with silk or cotton it bonds to whatever else you put it with.
