"Crewel Wool is a thread made up of two twisted plys of worsted wool that are not strandable.
As with all animal fibers, it has a very subtle sheen and colours are reflected in a variety of shades, especially in a stitch with varying directions. The crewel wool supplied by this manufacturer has a fantastic soft feeling, still being very strong and not subject to tear easily"
