Kreinik Fine #8 BraidSlightly thicker than #4 Braid, it is about the weight of two strands of cotton embroidery floss. It comes in basic metallic colors plus antique (V), hi lustre (HL), holographic (L), corded (C) and glow in the dark (F). It is used straight off the reel (not plied or separated). Very popular for cross stitch, needlepoint and embroidery.

Color numbers with an "F" are glow-in-the-dark colors and will glow when exposed to light; they also look great under black lights. Color numbers with "HL" are Hi Lustre, those with "V" have a vintage-matte finish, those with a "C" are braided cords (stiffer, resemble real metals), and those with "L" are holographic.
