WDW three strand floss?

These are 30 yard spools. Good for the punch needle people.

I think Donna has it right - it's spools for the punch needlers.....

There are some people here who, write so much about drinking, that they might use their longest needles to mix their punch drink ..:>:>:> .... but usually a punch needle is used for a technique that is called Tambour embroidery [looks like chain embroidery] , or like another technique where people pull thin cut cloth `threads` through a canvas or Jutah. mirjam

Sometimes it is called Russian embroidery, or Russian punch embroidery. Threads are pushed through a fabric base with a needle, so that it ends up looking a bit like very fine rug hooking.

I have a book called Hooked Rugs By Ann Davies and Emma Tennant, Sterling publishing,

1995, that shows [and explains] how to hook rugs with a Hook , and the techniqueis similar to Tambur or Punch needling ,,, mirjam
