Lustrous, Durable Finish – With Double-Mercerised Egyptian Cotton
Double mercerisation polishes and strengthens long-staple Egyptian cotton fibres, producing a pearlised gloss and smoother surface. The treatment reduces surface fuzz and increases tensile strength without adding synthetic coatings.
A glossy, smooth thread lays flat in stitches and resists fraying, keeping embroidery crisp and neat over time.
Tangle-Free Handling – Thanks to Tightly Packed Skeins and Six Strands
Skeins are tightly wound with a defined line head for pulling, and each floss consists of six separable strands for flexible use. Packaging is designed so the wrapping need not be torn to access the thread.
Easier threading and fewer snags during long stitching sessions, with the option to split strands for fine detail or use them together for strength.
Versatile Brown Palette – With Twelve Tone Variations and One Variegated Skein
The set contains twelve tonal skeins plus one variegated option to provide subtle gradation across brown-themed projects. Egyptian cotton’s natural sheen enhances perceived depth and shade transitions.
Convenient selection for shaded fills, accents and small craft pieces such as bracelets, tassels and clothing embellishments.
