fanned you back! a while ago my friend got a huge box of this from some kind of whole sale thing and she gave a me a huge bag and over the years a lot got knotted up so i went through and found some good ones and kept a couple for myself. I make friendship bracelets with it, but my gram always cross stitched, well hopefully you win and can start again!! thanks for looking and good luck! hope your having a nice weekend! Erica~
