Plant dyed 100% cotton floss. Hand dyed with flowers, roots and leaves in pastel soft variegated colors giving subtly graded embroidery stitch.

Sold in 1 skein of 8.7 yd (8m), please choose in the menu option:

#5 - Cappuccino: white/ rose / beige / moka
#6 - Magnolia: pink, gray, pale purple variation
#7 - Champignon: gray variation

These are very small batches that cannot be repeated in the same shades because plants always give slightly different nuances and variations. In fact, each skein is a bit different.

The thread comes from DMC mouliné that I dye myself in my atelier in the South of France: the stranded thread is composed of 6 separable strands. You can embroider with 1 thread or 2 (as traditionally for cross stitch) or more, depending on the thickness you want. You can also use them for needlepoint, sashiko, visible and decorative mending and more :)

Each order is with a small card explaining the dye plant extracts. The greens come from alfalfa, the pinks from madder (sometimes from avocado), the blues from woad (sometimes from indigo), the browns from the current mix (often acacia / eucalyptus / oak / alder...), the yellow-straw from weld (sometimes rhubarb),...

I use natural products, time and heat replace artificial fixatives. These threads can be washed gently in cold water. It is better not to use them on items that need to be washed often in hot water, such as towels, or if there is a lot of rubbing, such as socks. They are very suitable for the creation of delicate embroideries as decoration.
