Colour and Cotton hand dyed thread is six-stranded cotton embroidery floss made for cross stitch, embroidery, and other needlework projects. It can be used in place of traditional embroidery floss, whether you want to substitute one charted color, convert an entire project, or create a palette of your own.

 

The gentle color changes along each strand add depth, movement, and subtle variation to your stitching. As the shades shift from stitch to stitch, your finished piece develops a beautifully individual look that cannot be replicated exactly, making every project feel truly one of a kind.

 

There is no wrong way to use hand dyed cross stitch thread. Start with one special color, select a coordinated thread pack, explore a gradient, or simply combine the shades that inspire you.
