Embroidery thread

Embroidery thread is yarn that is manufactured or hand-spun specifically for embroidery and other forms of needlework. Threads for hand embroidery include: ▪ Crewel yarn is a fine 2-ply yarn of wool or, less often, a wool-like acrylic. ▪ Embroidery floss or stranded cotton is a loosely twisted, slightly glossy 6-strand thread, usually of cotton but also manufactured in silk, linen, and rayon.
