Crocheting with elastic thread?

[tickledpink3]

I've seen this advertised in Annie's Attic and wondered if any of you have tried it. What are your thoughts on this?

Looks neat, but boy is it expensive for not very much.

I have to agree. I mean folks have been creating these items all this time without it, seems to me it's not really needed. Especially at that price

i just watched a video & it shows the difference using cotton thread & elastic thread. i never realized it made such a difference and might try it.

Well, there IS a difference, but not that much of one. Who cares if it looks more delicate? Of course if it is a SPECIAL present or something it may be worth the extreme price, but usually you don't need that 'special' thread.
