Hi Susan It sounds as though it might the same as Presencia El Molino - a 7 stranded rayon embroidery thread, on a spool rather than in a skein, each of the strands being singles yarn. Presencia El Molono: 1S/7Z - 11 w/cm. single strand 1S - 23 w/cm
Rayon is a very soft thread, not a lot of âbodyâ but would make a nice gimp with cotton (or linen) as the main thread, but probably a bit soft and limp if you tried to use it alone. A single strand would be fine (mixed in with other threads) for a particular colour, but a lot of faff to separate the strands for individual use in a whole project.

Does anyone have any experience with El Molino, rayon especial para labores, 25grs, Article 72, Lombard S.A., Barcelona?? It has a very soft twist. A friend plans to use it for a needlepoint project. Has anyone used it for large scale lace or gimp? The colors are exquisite & it could make a dreamy scarf. Many thanks.
