Nylon crochet has a lustre and twist unlike any other product. It produces fantastic stitch definition as well as a hand with full but flexible body. Nylon's key attributes are shine, durability and receptiveness to dyes; the colors are vivid! Size 2 nylon can be substituted for many apparel and home decor items. It really shines with loosely knit or crocheted shawls, wraps & accessories as well as tightly crocheted items. Also fantastic for knit or crocheted jewelry. 100% nylon. 275 yards.
