Our threads are soft, smooth and plush, providing excellent coverage on a variety of fabrics. We produce over 450 colors and continue to expand our range to meet stitchers' creative needs.

Best of all, our threads come in 8-yard skeins, and we are transitioning to labeling each skein with a dye lot number!
