I made this purchase on my phone, so I didn't notice that some of the thread was metallic. It's even lovelier in person! It's very lightweight and festive, living up to its name of Alegria. One of my most favorite Novica purchases!
Unfortunately this got hung up somewhere along the delivery line and I didnt receive it in time for me to use as a gift for Christmas, so I returned it. But I did consider keeping it for myself because it was beautiful! Great quality and attention to detail.
