Early adopters were European armies who adopted the colour for uniforms. It was named after an Italian town in Lombardy due where French Troops in magenta uniforms proved to be victorious.

Use alone or combine with stranded cotton for a hint of shimmer. For best stitching experience use shorter <30cm lengths to prevent fraying.
