Artisan Thread Collections

Beyond the Skein: Why Small-Batch Artisan Thread Collections Change the Way We Stitch

As someone who has spent years immersed in colour, I know that the right materials make all the difference. While factory-made floss and perle cotton  has its place, it often lacks the tonal depth that a hand dyed product provides. I hand dyed my artisan thread collections to give your projects the level of detail and character you can’t find in a big-box store.

A Look At The Small-Batch, Hand-Dyeing Process

I hand-dye all of my limited-edition threads in my studio in small, limited quantities. Because I apply the dye randomly, the colours shift beautifully throughout the skein, making every skein individual. 

Because my artisan thread collections are hand-rendered, these specific colour combinations can’t be replicated once they’re sold out. Buying what you need now ensures you have enough to complete your project.

A Closer Look: My Featured Blends

I love seeing how these threads appear once stitched on canvas. Here is a look at a few of my recent limited-edition favourites and how I recommendations for use:

Colour #104: The Verdant Meadow

This is a sophisticated blend of mossy greens. I find it’s a perfect foundation for any autumn palette. It’s especially great for stitching grasses or leaves, as the natural shifts in green once stitched result in beautiful variations.

Colour #105: The Midnight Orchard

This is dyed as a darker, moodier blend of rich red variations and deep blue.  It’s wonderful for adding weight and shadow to your work. Use it for floral hearts or architectural details to give your needlepoint a three-dimensional feel.

Colour #106: The Palette Anchor

This is a multi-colored variegated blend. If you aren’t sure where to start, use this as your “focal” colour.  Pair it with solid yellows, greens or corals that match the tones in the thread.  The result, a beautiful palette for your next needlework project.

Why I Do What I Do

When you spend hours on a project, the materials should be worthy of your time.  My goal is to provide you with unique, high quality perle cottons and floss to help you stitch a project you are truly proud of.
