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!

Hi Lindsey! Thank you so much for your review - I am so glad you are enjoying our shop!

These threads are such beautiful colours Thank you. I love your website
A beautiful range of deep mysterious shades that I plan to use to create a black bird with those lovely shimmers of iridescent colour.
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.
We sell beautiful and useful things for makers. Our products are sourced with care and consideration for those who make them and we work with smaller companies and individuals whose sourcing and manufacturing process are transparent.

We welcome suggestions about how we can improve our approach.
We donate monthly to theses two amazing charities:

I contacted Grace from Beyond Measures regarding Appletons crewel wools and she immediately responded to my query. She gave me all the informations I needed and took the time to list all the colours that were available. When I purchased, my parcel was dispatched on the same day! I am very happy with the service and quality of materials I have received.
Loved this introduction to Sashiko…I am totally hooked. No worries about the instructions being in Japanese ChatGPT translated perfectly. Response from the Beyond measure team were prompt and v helpful. One happy customer returning.
Excellent quality, being a well made hoop and a deeper frame it's so much better at holding the fabric taut
Always a joy to receive an order from Beyond Measure. Quick reliable service. Beautifully wrapped. I love Grace’s leather thimbles, just prefect for hand quilting. Definitely recommend Beyond Measure for all your creative needs. X
I love this stuff, it makes it so easy to transfer embroidery/ Sashiko patterns, I just trace the pattern then sew over the top and it washes away under a running tap.
