Fruitti
Fruitti is a 12wt, 3ply Egyptian cotton thread, double gassed and mercerized with very low lint.
The range
It is comparable in size to a No 12 perle, though with a different appearance.
Use Fruitti for hand and machine quilting and embroidery, sergers, sashico, red work, needlework, upholstery, leather work, decorative stitching, hand work, and other crafts.
It works really well for buttons - especially Victorian needlework designs. It can be used for micro crochet - again, perfect for buttons. The tight twist also makes it great for needle laces, and it is excellent for your journal stitching too.
