Description: Very Velvet is a beautiful, velvety velour thread. It maintains its shape and thickness throughout its length. Use a rather large needle and a short tail as it tends to shred behind the eye of the needle. If this happens move the needle forward a half inch or so to prevent it from unthreading. When preparing to stitch with this thread, take a length off the card and run your fingernail over it a couple of times. This should remove any kinks and any excess flakes. Come straight up and down through the canvas and guide the Very Velvet with you free hand. Use this thread on boots, caps, sweaters, scarves, antlers, or tree trunks to give a realistic, velvety look.
