Threads

Knit Cro-Sheen: Generally a 4 ply tightly twisted thread. It's about a size 10 or a bit larger. Has been widely interchanged for size 10 threads. Some suggestions for usage are shawls, blouses, dresses, bedspreads, curtains and lace trims.

Metallic Knit Cro-Sheen:
A 4 ply thread with one strand of mylar. It does offer quite a variety of colors, such as white and gold, gold on gold, green and red, white and red, white and silver etc. It's great for thread ornaments, doilies, sweaters, blouses and fashion accessories.

Speed Cro-Sheen:
A 8 ply, firmly twisted thread, about a size 3. It's great for bedspreads, tablecloths, placemats and fashion accessories.

Bedspread Weight Cotton: Is a 4 ply, very firmly twisted thread. It's commonly called a size 10 thread. It's excellent for bedpsreads, tablecloths, place mats, trims and doilies. For most of my patterns I use a size 10 thread.

Lustersheen:
A sport weight yarn, that is excellent for vests, blouses, doilies, and the like. It comes in a variety of colors and is comparable to a size 3 or sport weight fiber.
