These gorgeous threads are hand dyed in the UK by Zoe Acketts of Paint Box Threads. Zoe uses her artist's eye to individually mix each dye and create beautiful palettes of seductive colours, from the vibrant to the muted.
The mercerised cotton can be used for hand or machine embroidery. The hand-dying process adds a subtle variation to the colour which will add that special something to your textile projects.
Each pack contains 10 skeins, each 50m long.
Thread is a similar thickness to a Perle12 or one and a half of DMC 6 Stranded. Can be used singly or doubled.
Please note that we are unable to represent colours with 100% accuracy on the screen but rest assured these threads combinations look even better in real life!

Lovely range of coordinated colours, great to see with too.
Beautifully curated colours. A joy to use. The thread subtly changes colour in different light and isn't a flat colour; it has natural variations. Gorgeous. Having to get my head around the thicker threads compared to the standard DMC embroidery floss but worth it to give a special project an extra something.
