Stef Francis space dyed mercerized cotton thread
Want to achieve a special look to your hand quilting? This thread is spaced dyed mercerized cotton from the studio of Stef Francis in England, UK and is exactly the right thickness for hand quilting, embroidery or embellishment. There are 30 meters in each skein - 20wt/3ply. I recommend using Jean Lyle large eye quilting needles for easy threading.
All quantities refer to length before dyeing - some length change may occur during dyeing. Their hand dyed threads have been tested for light fastness and the results were entirely satisfactory, permanent colour fastness cannot be guaranteed due to the individuality of the dyeing process.
Ghastly mistake - wrong colour?
Do bear in mind the colours will show up differently on every monitor screen. When you receive the skein feel free to let me know if it is not what you had hoped. I am always happy to exchange thread if you want another shade. And I will refund your money if you would rather just return the skein.
This is what Kim Allain of California says:
I ordered your hand quilting needles 10Q and was a little nervous about it because they were a little more expensive than I was used to. BUT NOW, I WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!! The hand dyed hand quilting threads are heavenly! Your shipping costs cant be beat and not to mention the prompt delivery. Thank you so much for your wonderful service and exceptional products.
