Dazzle 8wt Metallic Thread 183m-Acorn Brown DZ-330 A sturdy 6-ply thread, Dazzle is comparable in weight to a #8 perle cotton. This is 100% rayon and metallic mix carries a naturally bright lustre with a silky finish, making it an excellent choice for crafts, crochet, knitting, and highlighting the details on dimensional stitches. Because of Dazzle\’s light reflective properties and \”pop\” of metallic, the detail on wool applique and layering can be enhanced with edging stitches for that extra sparkle.
