When I got home with my purchase the new Connecting Threads catalog had arrived. In it they have 100% size 50/3 extra long staple cotton thread at 1,200 yards for $2.79 in a beautiful array of colors. It has a satin finish and double mercerized for a stronger finish. I intend to buy some from Connecting Threads from now on. Their variegated thread is $3.99 per spool of 1,200 yards and is gorgeous too. Connecting Threads is a much better buy. I have purchased kits and fabric from them and have been pleased each time.
