Fiber Details: Silk and Ivory, by Brown Paper Packages, is a versatile non-divisible silk and wool blend that provides a soft sheen when used in stitching 50% Silk and 50% Merino Wool Durable thread that is great for pillows 250 colors 28.2 yards Made in Switzerland Tips and Tricks: Ideal for larger mesh canvas as it provides terrific coverage and you don't need to use a laying tool. Cut thread length to 18" and keep a shorter (2" tail) as you stitch. Needles have punched eyes that can be rough and damage your thread as you stitch. The shorter tail minimizes the needle traveling up and down your thread to help you avoid fraying the thread. Can be used on 18 mesh with proper stitch tension. Use shorter thread lengths so the thread doesn't become fuzzy. Some stitchers feel the thread is too bulky basketweave on 18 mesh canvas though. If you are using longer decorative stitches, it will work well. Recommended Use: 13 mesh use one strand 18 mesh use one strand Colors displayed in photos may vary based on monitor settings, and changes introduced during manufacturing.
