This sampler is S.Ward: A Little Rag by Kitten Stitcher and was a limited edition kit that came with the linen and the Gloriana Pashmina crimson floss. This floss was so wonderful to work with. Many people who used this kit didn't like the thread. The key, for me, to working with it was cutting the strands in half because if you worked with the full strand, it got really fuzzy. The half strands worked great and it gave such good coverage.
Like other silk threads, you also have to keep your hands soft when working with it. It does snag on dry skin, but, as long as you keep your hands moisturized, it's not a problem.
I love how soft and silky the floss feels, too. But, it slides through the linen very smoothly. It's just a wonderful thread to use.
