Full description
In their original box, these balls of vintage Chain Mercer thread by Coats are a size 20 - commonly used for thread crochet as well as lace knitting and tatting. But they can be used in many more crafts, including needlepoint, cross-stitch and hand quilting - as well as weaving, mini amigurumi and decorative textile art.
A mercerised cotton thread, each ball weighs 10g each and dyed to shade 610, which I think is Ecru (it looks a natural beige colour). I believe they are the same dye lot - the leafet in the box says C388.
From my own craft supply collection that I am downsizing. I originally bought this thread from local lady who was no longer able to make her beloved hand-crocheted lace doilies and tablecloths as her eyesight was fading, and she was hoping they would be of use to someone else. I had intended to use them myself, but my crochet skills are not up to using this fine a thread. I have kept a few loose balls for slow-stitching and hand quilting, and am selling on the full box.
The balls of thread are in their original cardboard box with a protective inner layer of tissue, that has kept them in pristine condition away from dust and sunlight. The box is a little scuffed and marked in places, which is typical of vintage haberdashery items. After you have used the thread, it would be useful storage in your craft room, or could be upcycled into another project.
