This naturally dyed wool floss is soft to the touch but durable and strong, making it ideal for crewel wool embroidery, needlepoint, cross stitch, historical needlework, and Swiss darning. It is a fine gauge yarn with two separable strands. Each color is dyed by hand using natural plant, insect, and mineral dyes in the SMT Dye Studio in Maryland.

Stuart Moores Textiles' plant dyed embroidery flosses are hand dyed in the SMT dye studios using centuries old dyeing techniques. Each color is created from a combination of natural dyes that have stood the test of time and are selected for their proven lightfast and wash fast qualities. Creating these colors from start to finish is a weeks long process. Each set is one of a kind and very special indeed.

Each 'skein tree' comes with a 4 skein selection of plant dyed wool floss.

Each mini skein is approx. 10 yds for a total of 40 yds in each 'skein tree'.

100% plant dyed wool

Each skein tree comes with floss cards to hold each mini skein. You can add an optional needle set which includes a darning and embroidery needle (two needles in each set) for this gauge floss. You can also add a floss ring to hold your floss cards together.

NOTE: This product is naturally dyed, by hand using only plant, insect and mineral dyes. Due to the nature of organic, non-synthetic dyeing, uneven coloration may be present in naturally dyed items. Store out of direct sunlight.
