Alison Glass has teamed up with Wonderfil to create 48 all-new colors of Eleganza Perle thread. This gorgeous 8wt, 2-ply 100% long Egyptian cotton thread is double-gassed and mercerized, resulting in a wonderfully smooth and lustrous surface that allows the thread to glide beautifully through all types of fabrics and fibers.
