Unique Whitework Embroidery Thread Sets - Two options

Our unique Whitework Embroidery Threads Pack has been developed to provide four grades or thicknesses of pure white cotton hand embroidery thread. Putting together a supply of whitework threads often means obtaining supplies from different retailers and very rarely can these threads be found on the high street or in one place......so we have created one for you. As a professional hand embroidery studio, we select only the highest quality threads which are wound in our studio as a continuous 20m (approx) length. There are no knots or joins. All of these wonderful threads are pure cotton, colour fast and mercerised to provide a gentle sheen. They are created in the Netherlands and Sweden featuring 100% organically grown mercerised cotton yarns dyed to organic standards by Master Dyer Claes Hedstrom. Perfect for Counted thread embroidery techniques such as Hardanger, Rosemaling and minimal one colour designs.. Each Standard Whitework Collection Pack contains 8 bobbins: 2 x 20m size 8, 2 x 20m size 12, 2 x 20m size 16, 2 x 20m Size 20 Boxed gift set includes; 6 each size thread, Needle pack and Sparkling crystal/diamond x 20m. Cotton is measured in weight so the numbers give an idea of the thickness of the thread. Size 20 is the finest thread, just a bit thicker than a hand sewing thread, 16 is slightly thicker than 1 strand of standard embroidery thread. Size 12 is approx double the thickness of 16 and size 8, double that of size 12.
