✨ Silver/Silver Coats Crochet Thread, 10, with Metallic Shine Review

This review is for the silver version of this thread. I've been using it to crochet snowflakes for years, along with the white and pearlescent versions. I just replenished my "stock" to be ready for my next Christmas projects. I usually use #8 hooks (1.50mm) for #10 yarn.

I've tried every trick in the book, but it just doesn't sit up straight when you lie down, let alone work with it. I started a project so I'll finish it, but I wouldn't start another project with him…

I switched the thread completely from one cardboard holder to the other and tugged on it a bit while winding, hoping it wouldn't twist as much. As you
