Madeira Cotton has 379 colors and when stitched it is very much like silk. The packaging is also great, when opened it stays in the packaging and pulls from the bottom. It has a spinner rack with wheels that is very easy to use in your store for display. This is a cotton but very much stitches like a silk.
