Summary
Four reels of darning cotton thread. Each one has a small tube of card which the thread is wrapped around and the tube has some blue printed text which reads 'Peri-Lusta Fine Darning'. The colours of the threads are: Blue/grey, dusty purple, salmon pink and bronze. These objects were found in a fabric pouch (CMS no. 1989197). The objects inventoried under CMS no. 1989209 are very similar. These objects were found in the top drawer of a mahogany table (CMS no. 997561.1).
