Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Scarlett ★★★★★

The six strands separate cleanly without fraying, which makes threading a needle a breeze for my cross-stitch projects. This 8-meter skein is just the right amount for a small pattern, and the deep blue shade has a lovely sheen on the fabric.

Hazel ★★★★★

Color 799 is such a rich, deep blue that it instantly made my cross-stitch pop, and the 8-meter length was plenty for a small hoop project. The 100% cotton feels smooth and doesn't tangle nearly as much as cheaper threads I've used.

Kevin Q. ★★★★★

The 6 strands separate so cleanly, making shading a breeze for my latest cross-stitch project. The 100% Egyptian cotton has a lovely, smooth feel that doesn't fray as I work, and the deep blue is exactly what I needed.
