This is a textured thread made of 50% Wool (Australian) & 50% Acrylic. This combination gives the thread the soft appearance and texture of wool with the added strength of the acrylic allowing it to be used for machine embroidery. Perfect for creating a soft textured look on garments, it can can also be used with chenille and chain stitch embroidery attachments. We would recommend that you select designs that can be worked in an enlarged format as the thread is thicker than many other embroidery threads. The Lana is a 12wt and the red plastic spool holds 350m (383yds)
