These gorgeous threads are hand dyed in the UK by Paint Box Threads' Zoe Acketts. Zoe uses her artist's eye to individually mix each dye and create these 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 6 skeins, each 50 m long.
Thread is a similar thickness to a Perle 12 or one and a half of DMC 6 Stranded. Can be used singly or doubled.
Also available in packs of 10 and taster skeins.

I really like the colours Paint Box dye their threads.
I love Paintbox Threads and was after a particular colour range that was unavailable from them direct. Wonderful to be able to get them elsewhere and so speedily for the workshop I am doing. Thank you
Love love Beyond measure ….Product range is lovely and all items received were as described. Awaiting the items in the post is always a thrill.
So delighted with my taster pack I've bought some more (Regency colourway). Have been using them to mend a very finely knit merino jumper (patterns from Flora Collingwood-Norris' excellent book) and they pair brilliantly. A pleasure to stitch with.
Lovely threads. Arrived beautifully packed in super fast time.

I love this book- and I’ve already made 2 projects. It’s a self care book- a feel good book and I love that Ethos. The instructions are well written too, so easy to follow. I’ve used fabric from my stash for the Boxy Pouch and the basket. I use them to keep my HRT and supplements in- sticking to the theme of menopause and self care . And I found a beautiful silk scarf on Vinted for £3 so I’ll use that for the eye mask, so that’s my next project. And I’m excited to make the cover up, I have some gorgeous fabric just waiting for it. Thank you to Kay and Jenny for writing a book I didn’t know I needed.
Update: I didn’t realise that the cushion is loose so you can embroider on it, then you permanently attach both pieces. I must have missed those instructions, & I don’t have them anymore. I do like that I have a pin cushion close by so I can quickly & easily change out my embroidery needles. Thank you for letting me know that I can embroider the cushion then permanently fit it to the wooden piece.
This gorgeous piece of fabric is suitable for experts and beginners alike. I'm very much a newbie to embroidery and it's such fun to do. There are so many ideas to find and some of the figures will definitely be men. Delivery was super quick, great packaging too.
Beautiful wools. I am using them to embroider a design by Nicola Jarvis. The flecks enhance the crewel work stitching on her badger design. So pleased I have now purchased the other 3 bundles.
A beautifully crafted needle holder, a piece of art in its own right. Definitely worth the price and practical, an essential for anyone interested in knitting or crochet.
