To me, Connecting Threads just gets better and better in their thread and fabric collections.
I did notice that Connecting Threads is now labeled as "extra long staple cotton" -- it was long staple cotton probably even as recently as maybe a year ago. I plan to stick with Aurifil, but I definitely agree CT is making major strides in improving their brand of thread.
