Kanebo embroidery thread is a high-quality cotton (or silk-like) embroidery thread formerly sold by Kanebo. Purchase date unknown. Mostly unused, but some may have been used a little. These are long-term storage items that I received from someone. I have checked for any noticeable scratches, stains, or spots, but please understand that there may be oversights due to my amateur inspection. Please understand that these are used items and have been stored at home for a long time.
