I recently acquired the carmine colour as well as others. This thread is a dream to work with, it has a great feel to it and is strong and does not fray as easily as others. I use it to braid bracelets and to make double thread necklaces. I would easily recommend this to anyone, I have been looking for something like this for a very long time, and I'm glad I took a chance on this. I wear a thread bracelet made of this myself, and it has withstood many runs and showers and still looks as lovely as the day I made it. Five stars for sure!
