Rayon embroidery thread is still available. If not at your local store,
try Nordic Needle

Perhaps what you are looking for is a rayon embroidery
floss, which can sometimes still be found. It would
have been hand-crocheted and used as you describe. I
have occasionally found some inside vintage sewing
baskets, found at antique shops.
Good luck!
