Hi, most embroidery thread is 6 strands thick, you then separate it into 2 or 3 strands, that might be why you think it looks thicker then what your mum or gran worked with.
Most tapestry is done with wool (craft shops sell small skeins of tapestry wool), but theres no reason why you cant use any wool (if you have some left over from crochet etc use that), to be honest when it comes to crafting use what ever is suitable or looks good.
You can even do a type of embroidery with wool (crewel its called) or even ribbon embroidery.
Hope that helps!0 -
