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 Cord, Mastex and other nylon #18 for cording and kumihimo braid. Thread quality and dye lots has often been an issue with Conso, with wildly changing dye lots and in the past some bond peeling and cracking off the thread. At times the thread is a bit stiff, other a bit limp. If you notice a piece looking a bit grayed over time and it was knotted with Conso, wash and brush it with a soft toothbrush. It will remove the bond flakes and look newer again. I check the quality of the thread as it comes in and the current inventory is nice, without cracking bond, though maybe a bit thinner than in the past. The colors other than Black are all soft. 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, long lasting quality and how it holds the knots well!
