3 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 04/17/2026 - Bulky for cross stitch on 28 over 2
Even though this was the called for metallic floss on the pattern, it was way too much. I think a standard DMC in a close match color for bottom leg and top leg in the #8 would work. I went with that method but used Petite Treasure Braid in a similar gold tone and it was perfect for the fabric count.

5 stars out of 5 from United States Tiny United States flag on 09/18/2024 - Not what I needed but my fault
I ordered the wrong size. Needed #4 braid. My mistake but I will add to my stash for a future project.
