Boucle
Bouclé ~ Pronounced Boo-Clay this uniquely knotted thread is made with a 2 ply base with two other plies looping in and out making it a 4 ply thread. It comes 10.5 yards (10 meters) per skein. This highly textured thread is ideal for making stitches with dimensional effects. Although it may appear to be a difficult and unruly thread to work with it is actually quite tame and easy to use. Rayon is the key to its ease of use and satiny finish. It is available in selected popular colors.
Use the large #15 Milliner to stitch with this thread – in the ‘needle’ department
Cire
Ciré ~ Medium to heavy thread with a very loose twist. Ciré is French meaning smooth, lustrous, shiny. It is often interchangeable with Lola, Iris or Frost. This is my favorite for Rolled Roses.
It is available in many solid, shaded and variegated colors. 10.5 yards ( 10 meters)
Frost
Frost thread is a medium 3ply thread with 16 yards (15 meters) per skein. The tighter twist of this thread gives a more defined look to your stitches. Frost is available in selected popular colors.
