I believe the Stitch Soak Scrub nylon looped yarn has really great possibilities, so I included a picture since once it was wrapped, the design of the product is hard to see. It could be used for posts too, I think.  The bit of tinsel is still threaded in.  It created noticeable and better depth with the tinsel.  LisaLou
