Embroidery Floss – 2114 Santa Cruz – 5 Yards – 6-Strand Hand Over-Dyed Cotton – by Weeks Dye Works
Weeks Dye Works 2114 Santa Cruz is a premium hand over-dyed 100% Egyptian cotton embroidery floss with a soft natural sheen and rich, saturated colors. Each skein comes in a single continuous 5-yard length (not pre-cut), allowing you to separate strands as needed for your project.
The subtle yet visible color variations create depth and movement in cross stitch and surface embroidery, producing a natural shaded effect. For the best results and to highlight the color transitions, it is recommended to work one stitch at a time or use short lengths of thread.
Soft, strong, and pliable, this floss separates easily for use on a variety of fabrics and canvas. Perfect for cross stitch, traditional embroidery, needlepoint, punch needle (1-, 3-, or 6-strand), and especially suitable for wool appliqué and penny rugs, where it delivers a more refined look than heavier threads like pearl cotton. This floss is color fast, resistant to fading, and maintains its vibrancy through gentle washing.
