Customer Reviews (4.6 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Edward I. ★★★★★

This Egyptian cotton floss has a nice luster that really makes the stitches pop. The 8-meter length was perfect for the small floral motif I was working on.

Chloe ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the 8-meter length being enough, but it's actually generous for small projects. The six strands separate cleanly without fraying, which saves me so much frustration.

Natalie P. ★★★★★

The color 840 is even richer in person, and those six strands separate like a dream for my French knots. The 8-meter length is plenty for a small hoop project, and the Egyptian cotton feels smooth without that annoying fuzz.
