Impressions, by CARON Collections, is a wool and silk blend fiber with more loft than Wildflowers. It is very versatile and can be used on fine linens as well as larger counts of needlepoint canvas. You can often control the look of your stitches to create either a sculptured or a satiny look simply by adding or subtracting one strand. The blend of wool and silk gives a unique appearance as the two fibers reflect light differently, giving you stitching great depth. Very soft non-divisible thread with a medium twist. A real dream to stitch with. Colors coordinate with Soie Cristale silk. Color names are given a family name. The lower the number in the family, the darker the shade. For example, in the Olive-Green family, 1032 is darkest, 1036 is lightest. 50% Wool, 50% Silk Blend Recommended Use Needlepoint 13 count 2 strands, 18 count 1 strand Cross Stitch 20 to 28 count 1 strand over 2 36 yards
