Summary
Eight reels of darning cotton thread. All the threads are a shade of pink or purple and each one has a small tube of card which the thread is wrapped around. Each tube has some blue printed text which reads 'Peri-Lusta Fine Darning'. One of the reels has a metal sewing needle attached. These objects were found in a darning egg (CMS no. 1989208.1 and .2). The objects inventoried under CMS no. 1989230 are very similar. These objects were found in the top drawer of a mahogany table (CMS no. 997561.1).
