Strandable 12-ply Silk for Needlepoint, Cross Stitch, Embroidery:  It has three bundles of four strands each. It is easiest if you pull the bundles out first and then take out each strand.  The twist of each individual strand is tighter than most silks. This makes Splendor easier to use. It will not snag on all but the roughest hands. Be careful to ply and lay the silk to keep the nice shine. Anyone that stitches with cotton floss will have no problem with it.
