Embroidery Threads We Carry


The following are leftovers from my shop.  I may re-stock and then again may not. (I am in the process of updating the website and will work on this page as soon as I'm done with the rest of the site as I have embroidery threads not listed on the site yet, yes I know very dumb.)

Rayon Threads - Made in Mexico, rich lush colors.  Shiny glossy, don't know about washability but if you want to use these in SRE embroidery that is not going to be washed then they are perfect.

85¢ per skein - Four colors

Variegated Reds to Pinks, Variegated Oranges to yellows, Sky Blue, Yellow Gold


Washable Silk Floss - Germany Zwicky. Perfect for those added embroidered touches to heirloom garments.  Yes you can smock with this on Swiss Batiste.   

$2.60 per skein - Three Colors

Pink, Yellow, or Mint Green


DMC Perle Cotton  $1.20 per ball or 10 balls for $9.00

Size 8

The following colors are all that I have left after years of carrying them. Not really a popular item in the town of Sebastopol except with the odd costuming people do here and the occasional teddy bear noses.  Great to smock with on corduroy.

1 skein each except White (have three left) Grouped in color families

White,

Pale Yellow, Yellow Gold, Lt. Gold, Gold, Dark Gold, Orange

Grey, Dark Grey

Blue, Dark Blue

Five shades of Grass Green, two shades of Emerald Green, Lt. Olive, Med. Olive, Olive


Overdyed Anchor Floss  

Colorfast, washable and a joy to smock with and embroider with.  The colors are quietly blended unlike variegated floss.  Looks gorgeous with smocking or as added touches in Silk Ribbon Embroidery.  Some are single skeins others have three skeins (ask).
