Conso is the original company producing nylon #18 for the upholstery industry. The thread was designed for hand stitching. It is a very strong, well constructed thread with an even twist.The color range is neutral and has not changed much over the years. It is a good thread for micro macrame, simple or complex beading projects, bead crochet, kumuhimo braiding, half-hitching, Cavandoli tapestry knotting, tatting...

Personal Note :: I have used Conso for many years. I use it either for projects made completely in double half-hitching in combination with silks or sometimes in combination with the C-Lon Bead Cords, Mastex and other nylon #18 for cording and kumihimo braid. It tends to be a little stiff and the bond sometimes peels off the thread. If you notice a piece looking a bit grayed over time and it was knotted with Conso, wash it with a soft toothbrush. It will remove the flakes and look newer again. For some use, it is really a fantastic thread and it has its avid fans. One of my colleague swears by it for its durability and long lasting quality. It holds knots well!
