I have never even thought of crocheting with sewing thread, but after reading your earring hubs, I might just give it a try. I was going to ask if the thread made the earrings strong enough, but I see from your cover hub that you brush a layer of glue (?) over them.
Rated up and useful!

Yes, that's right. You brush white glue evenly on it to make it tough. Thanks for always giving me great comment, Patrice.
