So if you're into tatting, crochet, or embroidery, this Handy Hands Lizbeth thread is seriously quality stuff. It's 100% cotton cordonnet thread that's six-cord construction, which means it's strong and has great body that holds its shape beautifully. The size 10 is a nice medium weight that works for a bunch of different projects, and you get 116 yards (106 meters) per ball weighing 0.9 ounces. The Leaf Swirl color is this pretty variegated pattern that creates beautiful effects in your work without you having to change threads. What's really nice is that it's mercerized and gas-singed - which basically means it's super smooth, has a nice sheen, and won't fuzz up as you work with it. The hand-dyed colors have lovely depth and variation that machine-dyed threads often lack. Whether you're making delicate tatting lace, doilies, jewelry, or any fine crochet work, this thread gives you professional results. It's one of those quality materials that actually makes a difference in your finished projects compared to cheaper alternatives.
