Milan Cards - Maritime 2653

The 10-yard length was exactly enough for the small area I needed to fill on an 18-mesh project. The fibers hold their shape nicely without splitting, and the color matches the online sample well.

10 yards is just the right amount to finish a small cross-stitch project on 18 mesh, and the silk adds a subtle sheen without being too shiny. The wool gives it a nice, soft hand.

The silk-wool blend on this non-strandable Milan thread is perfect for my 18-mesh needlepoint, giving just the right sheen and coverage. The colors are rich and true to the sample, even if they’re a touch different from the screen preview.
