Warning: this item is Cursed. If a player acquires this item, it cannot be unequipped, dropped, or sold.

A skein of something like black thread, wound on nothing, drawn from the Deep Well beside Balin's tomb by a hand that carried no light. It does not reflect what little light there is, and it weighs less than the dark around it. Halmir the Grey asked that it be carried back to him.
