Dat's it. (Art C-45)
100 yards, not feet (duh, although didn't have the spool with me.) I originally
bought a spool of the natural cotton color from another craft store (because they
didn't have black) and I like the way it works. I had to have something for the
rigging of the Wraith (pictures soon) before the Brickfest 2000 Pirate Game and
that was all I could find at the time. Now she'll get a proper rigging.
