I bought this thread to retro-fit my woollen gloves to allow them to use with smart phones, and it’s perfect. I’ve swiss-darned a section at the end of my index fingers and thumbs, and can now use my phone without needing to take off my gloves. The thread is quite fine and easy to use, and looks just like a typical metallic gold thread. It’s so useful, I’m now getting started on my other gloves and those of my family.
