Water 'n Ice

"Water 'n Ice" thread is a loosely braided, translucent ribbon thread often used in needlepoint, designed to mimic the appearance of water or ice by allowing the color of the underlying canvas to show through when stitched with long stitches, giving a reflective, "wet" look; it's typically made from 100% nylon and is considered ideal for depicting surfaces like mirrors, glass, and frost on painted canvases.
