The DMC Eco Vita Organic Wool Threads (U2360) set is designed for eco-conscious fiber artists and crafters who prioritize sustainability without sacrificing pigment vibrancy. This 30-skein collection offers a beautiful, fluffy texture ideal for hand embroidery, punch needle, and visible mending. While these non-divisible threads offer excellent structural integrity for textured work, they may require specific tension adjustments compared to standard cotton embroidery floss due to the inherent loft of Merino wool.

Yes, but keep in mind these are non-divisible and thicker than standard embroidery floss. They are best suited for larger-count fabrics to ensure the stitches don't crowd each other.
The threads are dyed using natural sources. To maintain the vibrancy, avoid excessive exposure to harsh sunlight and use cold-water hand washing.
No, the set includes 30 skeins and two embroidery designs. You will need to provide your own embroidery or punch needles.
No, Eco Vita threads are single-strand and non-divisible, designed to be used as a whole to maximize the fluffy texture.
Each individual skein is 16 meters long.
Ensure your needle eye is large enough for the wool strand and use shorter working lengths of thread to minimize friction.
Use a needle threader or trim the end of the wool at a sharp angle to reduce the bulk of the fibers at the entry point.
To ensure the longevity of your DMC Eco Vita projects, use a crewel or embroidery needle with a large enough eye to prevent the wool from fraying as it passes through the fabric. Because the thread is made of natural wool, it is sensitive to heat and agitation. Always wash finished pieces by hand in cool water with a gentle wool-safe detergent. Lay items flat to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the natural dyes. When storing your unused skeins, keep them in a cool, dry place inside an airtight container or a cedar-lined box to protect them from potential fiber pests.
