This economically priced metallic thread begins with a soft rayon core, guaranteeing a smooth and gentle touch. Its pure silver coating gives it a unique classic richness. It's suitable for lacemaking (bobbin and tatting), and hand and machine embroidery. If using an embroidery machine, the digitizing averages a 4.5 density, and the recommended needle size is either a #80/12 or a #90/14.
