I am labeling some things in my classroom in Spanish and am unsure of the authentic translation of yarn and Christmas Bows (the shiny cheap ones with stickers on the back). Please help!

"Yarn" (as in 'string' or 'thread' is not "cuento" or "historia." That is like in a "big yarn, or a tale!)" Yarn is: "estambre" or "cordon" (literally 'string') or even "hilo" (literally thread). NOTE: The "h" in 'hilo' is silent; it is pronounced "e-loo."
Moños de regalo is correct.
Hope that helped.

Estambre is made of "lana," but lana is 'wool.' "Lana" is also slang for... money.

Hi La Gringa,
For yarn it is ´lana' as in knitting. (Lana)
For Xmas Bows w/stickers on the back
it is a bit more difficult as there are many
different ways to call them - different countries -
but a safe way would be to say
'Cintas para regalos de Navidad
That should cover pretty much every
different Spanish spectrum.
Good luck and Feliz Navidad!

Christmas Bows we call them monos with a tilde on top of the n; we call any type of bows mono wether they are very cheap or very expensive. As for the yarn is called estambre.

Christmas Bows are "lazos para regalos" but literally it means Christmas = Navidad, Bows = lazos
Yarn = historia, cuento
