It was a bit fuzzy and you couldn’t see the stitches. It was also not twisted enough, so the strands tended to separate.

Trust me! It hurts. Some cacti (plural of cactus) needles are much more painful than others.

What about tweezers or hot water?

(I had many red dots from applying eosin when as a child, I fell in a range of rose bushes while riding a bike (with 4 heels). All over my body :joy::joy::joy: I can’t compare with cactus barbs, never tried and not sure I want to LOL)

Cactus, well I got to “meet” a cactus when I was 9 years old and spend my summer holidays at my grandmother’s place. She used to live alone since my grandfather’s death. Normally she would open all the windows in the morning. By the window there was one cactus, I always must have overlooked it. So while the windows were open she put the cactus on the sofa and I liked to sit on the armrest of the sofa looking outside. When I saw someone walking outside, I wanted to look a bit more and reached behind me with my hand. Trust me, you don’t really want to get to know that feeling, I don’t even know how many barbed spikes my grandma had to pull out of my hand, but it really took a lot of time.
From then on the cactus would be moved to the table, it was a bit further away from the window and the sofa.

Depends on what you call mini, around 15 cm high and from afar it looked a bit flurry but that was only because it had many thin spikes, if it only had been spikes like needles, but with those little hooks. I can still recall the pain 4 decades later, that is when it went en vogue that you got a cactus as a present in the 80’s all of these went to my mom, I am “healed”. No more cactus for me.
