Double Gimp Twist
$ 7.50
Visit product page →This gimp thread has a pair of gimps wrapped around the core giving it a really regular but bumpy texture. It is delightful to couch in place for stems, grass, trees, and flowers. I have alternated it with regular gimp to get really textural effects.
The spools have 5 meters on each no matter if the spool is large or small (spools are running low so we are using what we can). There will be some more of many of these colors when the new batch of spools arrives.
