Needle Recommendations: For best results, use embroidery needles sized #7–#10 for detailed work or fewer strands, and tapestry needles sized #18–#22 when working on open-weave fabrics or using all six strands together.
Tip: For best results, separate strands before stitching and work with short thread lengths.
Notes: Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches, so slight color variations may occur between skeins of the same color code. To minimize color bleeding, it is recommended to rinse the thread in cold water before use, especially if the finished piece will be washed or pressed, and to wash by hand in lukewarm water using a mild detergent.
