perfect shine for embroidery
Ordering this light gold floss for the third time now for my heirloom stitching projects. The brilliant reflective shine and tarnish resistance are amazing. It catches the light so well and the six easily separable strands make it super convenient to adjust thickness depending on the design.

good for blending with cotton
i do embroidery every day in my free time and tried blending one strand of this with standard cotton floss. gives a very subtle sparkle. takes some practice since it can twist a bit, but totally worth it for the look

was skeptical about gold thread
was skeptical about how this would look on my wife's cross-stitch work since metallic ones usually give trouble. ordered a pack of 6 and honestly it glides pretty smoothly through fabric. just had to use shorter lengths like 12 inches to avoid fraying. good stuff overall
