Soft 1500Y 15 Pearl Balls Cardinal Size 8 Rainbow Colors for Crochet Hardanger Cross Stitch Needlepoint Hand Embroidery

I like these small balls very much. I knitted a sweater and needed many different color cotton yarns for intarsia. There was no point to buy big skeins. I found the colorful set of small balls, exactly the colors I need. Threads were thin for me and I doubled them and get a perfect thickness. I was afraid what threads can bleed during washing. My worries were in vain. Nothing happened. I already wash my sweater several times, threads colors are the same as when I bought them.

After a recent trip to Hungary I was inspired to learn Kalocsa embroidery and found this to be the perfect thread for my first project. It's soft, bright, and pearly, and the collection of colors look great together. Each spool of thread has 95 yards and it looks like that will be just enough to finish decorating an apron. I'll be ordering more of this thread so I can start embroidering tea towels as gifts.

I got this specifically because I needed small amounts of several different colors and didn't want to buy the giant 1000 yard balls of each color. Each color here is about 95 yards which was MORE than enough for what I needed- in fact, I could probably make dozens more of these little medallions (each one is about the size of a nickel) if I were so inclined.Great value for the money, the floss works up very well & the colors are vibrant and go well together as you can see. It's a nice variety if variety is what you are looking for.

worked perfect for tying my smaller quilts

Absolutely love all the colors

I really liked the thread, but had to return it as it was finer than I thought it would be. Gorgeous colors, brilliant! But wasn't the right thickness for my project.

I use all sizes of mercerized cotton thread interchangeably between crochet and tatting. But this is the first thread I've had that feels like it's fighting you when it comes to tatting.It isn't as mercerized as DMC, Cebelia, or even Aunt Lydia, my usual go to threads. It has a fluffier look because it isn't wound as tightly, which both makes it feel thicker, and it causes it to be a slight bit fuzzy which makes it grab itself more. I wouldn't consider it a true mercerized thread, as mercerized threads are smoother, and they aren't prone to grabbing onto themselves, splitting or breaking, as one color actually snapped in the middle of knotting.I finally got one small motif after an hour of fighting with it. And I'm not pleased with the look compared to my other threads.I'll likely repurpose it for embroidery and cutwork because it is pretty. And it does seem to work as a crochet or embroidery thread. Although it's rather small for crochet thread unless you're using it for trim, bracelets etc.It's not a bad thread. It's just not really mercerized, so it has limited use.

great for doilies
