I had plenty of Radiance left from Nights in White Satin by Jennifer Riefenberg so I cut one length. It was more difficult to get the first strand out and each one got easier to remove. I needed to gently massage small bits at a time but I got it separated. Then I tested three strands unironed and ironed. The strands did get smoother with ironing.

It’s like stitching with Accentuate which I find difficult to handle. Ironing improved my ability to get the strands to lay nicely. The ironed strands are used in the stitches on the left. As you would expect, longer stitches reflect more light and are shinier than shorter ones. They would make great snowflakes or window panes (Scotch Stitches).
So, you could separate this thread into strands, iron or not, and you could also couch with it.
Overall it’s a nice thread and I would use it again. It really sparkles in person and does in close up photos too.
