"Engineered with hand wool appliqué in mind, Ellana™ is a 28wt 2 ply, 50/50 Merino Wool/Acrylic blend. The wool provides a rich color palette and soft loft, while the acrylic gives the thread unbelievable strength. Its perfect twist allows the thread to gently coat the edge of wool appliqué, melting into the wool. The result is an almost invisible whipstitch which creates a smooth, clean edge prepared for embellishing."
