How does it differ from Single Strand Regular and Six Strand Regular?

This is about half the size of regular silk floss. Great for over 1 stitching on 36ct or higher, or over 2 on 46ct+ @ggggaea You need to login in order to vote August 22, 2020 at 10:26 pm #1480 VeenaModerator Points: 1,318 It is also very nice for backstitching or when you want to add some definition to your stitches without thick outlining.

Pattern is a freebie from Kissy Cross called Wagtail. This reply was modified 5 months ago by Veena.

It does look fine a crisp, like Jill said. Hope Vikki eventually Dyes SSF again. My 46ct project (Over2) is tough getting those reg flosses through the tiny holes!
