The thread is suitable for big-stitch quilting, crochet, tatting, or very fine sashiko. The thread is two strands twisted and is not intended to be separated.

The charm of these threads is that they are dyed by hand in small batches, thus the and color will vary slightly from batch to batch. The threads will fade with washing and if left in bright sunlight.
