Our signature range of Colour and Cotton threads are dyed right here in our St. Louis dye studio. Dyed on a DMC base and packaged in generous 8-yard skeins, our threads are plush, soft and easy to work with giving very nice coverage. We recommend purchasing all thread needed for your project at once to ensure dye lot consistency. While we strive to control as many factors as possible during the dyeing process, a great many number of things are beyond control, resulting in dye lot variations over time - it's normal, and part of what makes hand dyed fibers so unique and fun to work with! Every effort has been made to accurately depict colors, but please note that variations across monitors and devices may occur. Threads are colorfast in that the color will not fade or wash out, but some color bleeding may occur in very saturated colors. Always test before washing.
