Also, have to find the Pearle cotton, that sounds like the another favorite for tying. Is that in the embroidery section or thread section?

Tails are good around 1" and it was a good ides to use floss, because a VA H may be washing it often and may have people that wash things with out knowing how. They like to use hot water on every thing --germs you know-- and yarn would not stand up to that.
