Our Glide Thread Packs are available in sets of 9 threads on 1000m cones. We called them Glide Thread Club - you can acquire almost the entire range of 1000m Glide cones without repeating a single one through the sets. We've split them into different combinations and you can find them all on our handiquilter.co.uk website.
