Classic Colorworks (formerly Crescent Colours) offers three types of hand embroidery floss: stranded cotton, silk, and perle cotton, each available in a range of beautiful hues. The floss is hand-dyed with slight variations in each dye lot. Suitable for various hand embroidery techniques, Classic Colorworks promises both variety and heirloom quality. The stranded cotton floss is 100% cotton and divisible into six strands, making it suitable for fine embroidery with one strand or thicker textures with multiple strands. It's ideal for cross-stitch, punch needle, and other techniques, available in a wide array of colors and sold in five-yard skeins.
