I believe I received this as a promotional item several years ago. It's not for crafts (the color bled when sewn), so please use it for wrapping. I think it would be nice for the Christmas season. It's a slightly muted, calm red color. I'm not sure how much is left. The end of the thread is secured with a sticker. Since it's 3 centimeters in diameter, I will ship it in simple packaging. It will be sent via Yu-Packet Post anonymous delivery and dropped in the mailbox.
