what is blending filament??
Actually, it's a pain in the tail feathers, but it adds a different look. For example, I am working on a counted cross stitch garden fairy, and most of her wing area is Kreinik blending filament, which makes it look iridescent.
This is what Kreinik says about it:
Use Kreinik Blending Filament, by itself or combined with other yarns, to create random highlighting effect in all hand embroidery like cross stitch and needlepoint, plus machine embroidery, crochet, and knitting. Available on 50 meter (55 yard) spools.
