Satiny threads from Morocco wrapped on bamboo. Yum.

These are the Moroccan threads my mom brought from Morocco. Aren't they amazing? See how they are wrapped around bamboo?  It's going to take years to use them up. 

Each "thread" is really four strands to be separated. I tried using multiple strands together for a heavier look, but the thread is fine and it frays and tangles. So, I tried to use a single strand, doubled over and knotted, and when I want a "heavier" line, I just satin stitch or do the row twice.
