Right now, I am trying these out to see how they do. Choose from Noir (Black), 2924 Rouge Ancien (Ancient Red), or 946 Grenat (Garnet). These are 45-meter hanks (just over 49 yards). This silk is a 7-ply thread, and is unmatched in lustre and beauty. Use just like you do your cotton flosses, but you will find the thread goes through your fabric like buttah!
