The Madam Sew, Ho Ho Holiday, Cotton Thread Set consists of eight holiday thread colors. They will work well with this year’s Christmas, winter, and Hanukkah fabrics. Plus, if you have left over red, white, and green thread, you can use it with Valentine’s and St. Patrick’s Day fabrics. This is a limited release set so it is available only as long as supplies last. The thread is made of 100% long-staple, mercerized cotton. This is important as you’ll get less lint which means less fuzz building up at your needle and less thread breakage. Because it is cotton thread, it won’t be overly shiny and you’ll also be able to use it for any application where the end project will go in a microwave (think Bowl Cozy or Potato Sack).
