NOTE:  These threads are in the process of being discontinued!   20 yards per card. This is a soft twisted silk and wool combination with a wonderful buttery hand. It is great for backgrounds and areas that use a lot of thread. There is a nice shine to this yarn, which requires you to use shorter lengths so the shine does not disappear. The soft twist must also be maintained as you stitch by rotating your needle as you go in and out of your canvas or fabric. (13-18 count canvas)
