Threadaholics Alert: Thread Gatherer's La Brume

Stitched Up Needleworks mentioned a new wool/metallic thread from Thread Gatherer called La Brume.

https://mailchi.mp/stitchedupneedleworks/introducing-labrume?e=07414d94b0

Each skein is 10 yards of fiber and is non-dividable.  It appears to be the diameter of crewel wool although I've not seen it in person.

Thread Gatherer's Instagram says it's thicker than their Silken Pearl Five.
