needed something to cover arms for a dance. This worked well. It looks really pretty and has a shimmer to it (white). The only problem I have is that it will snag one two three. One snag and it is ruined. I was able to pull the tread through to save it. Then press it. I like the length as well as the width. Do not wear bracelets to get entangled or it will get caught and get it to pull out the strings.
