All these threads I have hand dyed with indigo

 

Cupro - A B C D

This recycled cotton is gentle as silk on the hands but strong, with the ply creating a plump rounded thread. Skeins are shades in pale, medium and dark as well as a dip dyed version.

Length: 25 metres   Content: 100% recycled cotton*

Thickness: plied thread - about equivalent to using two out of the six plies of a standard embroidery floss

*Cupro is a type of rayon made by dissolving cotton cellulose with cuprammonium salts and spinning the resulting solution into filaments. The chemicals used are free of compounds toxic to health or the environment. Cupro is biodegradable.

Silk - E F

Smooth dip dyed silk in two weights - 

Fine E is approximately equivalent to No 10 cotton perle

Medium F is approximately equivalent to No 8 cotton perle

Length: 25 yards  Content: 100% silk

Linen Lace Thread - G H

These threads are rare vintage Swedish linen for lace making and are offered in two dip dyed options - Subtle G and Bold H

Thickness: like machine sewing thread

Length: 25 metres, in 50 pre-cut 0.5m lengths      Content: 100% linen

Hand Spun - J

This is the joker in the pack! A single ply thick and thin hand spun silk perfect for couching down in mixed media pieces or adding as a feature weft in a small tapestry.

Thickness: between 1mm and 4mm in diameter, approximately

Length: 20 yards      Content: 100% silk

indigo dyed cupro*****Posted by Maura T on April 9 2024 at 22:52Lindsay has some lovely threads-- I had never heard of cupro before , it is a really lovely stitching thread with a nice "feel" and also from recycled cotton! In view of its recycled history I will be using it along with textiles that are repurposed or recycled thrift shop finds . arrived quickly and as usual -- beautifully packaged - it felt like I was getting a surprise gift! lovely experience!

❤️Need a few close shades for a project? 

🧡Looking for colour inspiration?

💛Want to build your thread palette without buying to excess?

💚These wee gems will help. I select shades, measure, cut, twist and label them. These mini collections of stranded embroidery cottons contain 2 metres of each of six shades. If you’re a single strand stitcher like me, that’s 144 half metre lengths! 

Stranded Selections - seventeen of them - are on the Threads shelf now!

Found a blackbird eggshell in the garden yesterday which sparked this wee gathering of strawberry flowers and bluebells.
