Welcome to Colour Complements
I specialize in hand-dyed embroidery threads in vibrant and unique colour combinations.
I’ve always had a fascination with colour. I painted for many years eventually venturing into textiles and quilting. I started dyeing fabric for quilting which developed an interest in surface dyeing techniques which evolved into an interest in crazy quilting. At the time I lived in an area with limited access to supplies, in particular a variety of threads. It seemed a natural progression to start dyeing my own so I did!
I opened Colour Complements on Etsy in late 2012 and my website shop in 2019. Products offered include cotton floss and three sizes of perle cottons. I also stock samplers, cotton floche and custom dyed thread kits. New products are introduced as they are sourced and depending on how I like stitching with them.
Colour Complements threads are dyed on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I am constantly “experimenting” with colours to create original and sometimes unusual colour combinations.
I hope I inspire your creativity with vibrant colour.
