Colour is the whole argument in embroidery. A thread that reads as dusty rose on screen
but arrives as coral can unravel an entire design, stitch by patient stitch. We stock a
deep range of shades precisely because the difference between two adjacent codes on a
colour chart is not a small thing — it is the difference between the piece you imagined
and the piece you finish. Every skein we sell is labelled with a recognised colour code
so you can plan, reorder, and match across projects without guesswork.
Price is three dollars per skein, final and inclusive of applicable taxes. Payment
is completed at checkout. Orders are dispatched within two business days of
confirmation. No hidden handling fees apply.
What you receive with every skein
Each skein is six-strand mercerised cotton, wound to a standard eight-metre length,
and labelled with a colour code that corresponds to widely used reference charts.
The label stays on the skein until you are ready to wind it onto a bobbin, so you
can always trace the shade back to its code if you need to reorder mid-project.
-
Six separable strands of mercerised cotton for flexible stitch weight
across all your projects.
-
A labelled colour code on every skein so reordering the same shade is
straightforward and accurate.
-
Shade accuracy checked against the colour code before the order is packed
and dispatched.
What we need from you
Choose your shades by colour code rather than by the on-screen thumbnail alone —
monitor calibration varies and what looks like ecru on one screen reads as cream on
another. If you are matching to an existing project, note the code from your current
skeins and order by code. We are happy to answer shade questions before you place
your order.
-
Order by colour code wherever possible to avoid shade mismatches caused by
screen calibration differences.
-
Write to us before ordering if you need to match an existing project skein
— we can advise on close codes.
