Star Six Strand
Has anyone here heard of a cotton floss called Star Six Strand by the
American Thread Co.? I was just going through my needelwork stuff and found an old plastic zip bag with 20 skeins of this in it. I'd even forgotten I had it; I think I got it from a relative or friend a long time ago. Suze |

I have some. My mother bought it in New York during the late fifties. The paper wrappers say 3 skeins for 10 cents. They are mostly solid colors, but I do have a couple that are varigated, ei. green shading to white and back to green again, same with some orange varigated. The fibers are cotton, and seem to have held up well with time. Marie C and the cats |
