Milan Card - Holly 2729

The silk-wool blend gives this thread a beautiful subtle sheen that really makes my cross-stitch pop on 18-count fabric. Colors are true to the listing photo, though I'd recommend ordering a bit extra if you're working on a larger project.

The silk-wool blend has just the right amount of sheen for my 18 mesh canvas, and it glides through without tangling. The 10-yard length was enough for a small section, though I wish it came in larger spools.

The 50/50 silk-wool blend feels like absolute luxury in hand—so soft yet sturdy for needlepoint. It's non-strandable, which saved me so much time on my 18 mesh piece, and the 10 yards was just right for my project. The color is rich and true to the photo.
