Sewing is a craft isn't it?

I thought of the twist in sewing thread which led me to raid my wife's sewing box. The most colourful threads were wound on a little bobbin which was part of a hotel sewing kit which had found its way into the box. This is a close-up of those threads taken with my 100mm macro lens with a 10x Nikon microscope objective on the front. I was surprised how many loose fibres there were. No wonder it is so hard to thread a needle"
