The colours with letters in the colour numbers may be slightly thicker or slightly stiffer.
In Needlework: Ideal for cross stitch on 16-count or 18-count Aida. Some stitchers also like using it on 14-count Aida for a light metallic look.
We recommend a #22 or #24 Tapestry needle. Use in any stitch in an embroidery or fibre art design.
In needlepoint, use it to string beads (especially translucent beads so the metallic sheen shows through), to couch thicker threads, or to create light details on top of stitches.
CARE: Very Fine #4 Braid is hand and machine washable; tumble dry on low. Do not iron directly onto the metallic; use a press cloth.
Note: some colours like red may bleed, so we recommend testing a swatch before washing your entire project.
