This thread has been dyed a bright, deep gold color with dyer's polypore mushroom and an alum mordant. Dyer's polypore, Phaeolus schweinitzii, is fairly abundant in North America and can be harvested freely without damaging the underground mycorrhizae that form the true main body of the organism-- like how picking berries doesn't harm the bush. It is an excellent sustainable source of natural yellow, orange, and green dye for the small scale dyer.

This 2-ply thread can be used for to work various types of embroidery (plies NOT separable as with DMC or similar!), weaving narrow goods, eg, tablet weaving, or tapestry, at approx. 30 ends per inch, and also for braiding techniques such as fingerloop or lucet, and other historical and modern fiber arts.
