Frequently Asked Questions

Which set size should I choose?
The 40-color set is ideal for beginners or those working on a specific project with a limited palette. The 80-color set suits regular embroiderers who want variety across multiple projects. The 120-color set is the best choice for dedicated crafters who want a comprehensive, professional-grade palette.

Is this thread suitable for cross stitch?
Yes — this cotton embroidery thread works well for cross stitch, hand embroidery, needlepoint, and general needlework. It’s stranded cotton, so you can separate the strands to adjust the thickness of your stitching.

How many strands should I use?
Standard embroidery floss is made up of 6 strands. For cross stitch on 14CT Aida, 2 strands is typical. For hand embroidery, 2–6 strands depending on the stitch and desired effect. Separate the strands before threading your needle for best results.

Are the colors colorfast?
Yes. The 100% cotton threads are colorfast and won’t bleed onto your fabric during normal use. If you need to wash a finished piece, hand wash gently in cool water.

Can I use this thread for punch needle?
Yes — embroidery floss works well with fine punch needles. For larger punch needle projects using thicker loops, tapestry wool or yarn may give a more textured result.

Does the organizer box keep threads tangle-free?
Yes — the included organizer box has individual compartments to keep each color separate and easy to access. We recommend winding threads onto bobbins (sold separately) for the neatest storage.
