Wisper
70% kid mohair, 30% nylon
A very fuzzy single yarn. It is usually necessary to ply up to a thickness
that will cover your canvas. It is OK to double this yarn over in your
needle. It may also be brushed to give a fuller effect. Combine it with
another, stronger yarn to give it even more strength.
20 yards per card, 36 colors, color card available for "animal colors".
Made in Italy.

FUZZY STUFF®
Exactly as the name implies, it is really fuzzy with a shinny glint. Use short lengths and bring straight up and straight down through the canvas. Do not drag or pull diagonally. There is really no need to brush this yarn as it is fuzzy all by itself. The shinny hairs do not overpower the rest of the yarn, they just add a nice hint of sparkle. White Fuzzy Stuff is great for snow and snowmen. Fill in areas with split stitches or long stitches. Ignore the rule of going down into a full hole and up in an unused hole. If you come up in a hole that already has the Fuzzy Stuff stitched in it you will be pulling the hairs up to the front of the canvas to add a little more fuzziness. There are good animal colors and some very wild and funky colors that are great for Halloween designs, wild hair or outlandish garments.
(2 ply-14 count, 1 ply-18 count, cross stitch 1 ply-9 to 10 count)

TREASURE BRAID PETITE
This is our newest size in the Treasure Braid family. It is a three ply braided metallic that is extremely versatile. It can usually replace a #4 braid, however, at half the cost per yard. It is very durable and should not present any problem when stitching. In fact, you might try using it where you would use two ply of blending filament. It would give the same look and you would not have the bother, or mess, of stitching with blending filament that you would need to ply up. It is great to use when you want to add a glimmer of metallic without overpowering the rest of your stitching. You also may double or triple it in the needle when you want braids that are equal to a #6 or #9 weight.
(For very fine work when doing needlepoint)
(14-36 count cross stitch or combined with other threads)

We also have other fibers that are used in cross stitch patterns that we carry. Such as: Alpaca, Suede,  Nordic Gold, Gold Rush, Splendor and  Bravo.
