FUN FACT: Tapestry #12 Braid was developed many years after #8 Braid and #16 Braid. Stitchers wanted a metallic that would provide thicker coverage for tent stitch on 18-mesh (#8 is thinner). Today, you can use either on 18-mesh: choose #8 if you prefer lighter coverage, or #12 Braid for full coverage.
