I bought this to put a buttonhole edge to a shawl I made and I'm in love. It is a little thicker than a 12wt and is twisted tighter than typical Sashiko treads with a little sheen. It is wonderful to stitch with - no fraying, knotting, and lays beautifully. I will be adding more of this to my ever-growing stash of threads.
