Sajou Calais Cocoons Boxes
$45.00 ($40.91) / Calais Cocoons Box Set of 12

Calais cocoons are a coloured 3 ply lace thread, the term ply meaning strands. This thread is singed rapidly in a gas flame which removes any fluff and makes it smooth. The Calais threads are then mercerised, a treatment which makes the thread shiny and soft to the touch. Six box set choices.
