Eleganza is a gorgeous 8wt, 2-ply 100 percent long staple Egyptian cotton thread that is double-gassed and mercerized, resulting in a wonderfully smooth and lustrous surface that allows the thread to glide beautifully through all types of fabrics and fires while also being low on lint. The thread's tight twist creates firm stitches while its surface sheen produces a luxurious finish to embellishment stitchery.
