Garage Sale find” Bag of thread

I found this bag full of goodies all for $3.

There were lots of threads and beads inside, but I fell in love with these Japanese silks.

6 silk spools

I tried to use them for some embroidery this weekend but when I went to use them, the fine fibers kept of catching on…well, everything. They were lovely to feel but working with them was…challenging. Still, lots of other goodies inside that don’t make me feel like I need a manicure before using.
