FAQs

Can I separate the strands of this thread?

No, this is a non-divisible 4-strand thread. It is designed to be used as a single unit.

What size is this thread?

This is a Size 25 embroidery thread.

How much thread is in one skein?

Each individual skein contains 28 meters of thread.

Is this thread suitable for machine embroidery?

It is primarily designed for hand embroidery; check your machine's manual for thread weight compatibility before use.

How do I prevent the thread from fluffing?

Keep your working lengths relatively short and avoid pulling the thread through excessively heavy or abrasive fabrics.

Troubleshooting

Thread twisting or curling while stitching

Allow the thread to hang freely for a moment to 'de-twist' after a few stitches, or use a shorter working length of thread to minimize tangling.

Stitch surface looks uneven

Check that the needle eye is not too small, which can fray the cotton, and ensure consistent tension is maintained throughout the stitching motion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to kinking and knotting
  • High-quality, mercerised long-fibre cotton
  • Soft texture gentle on fingers and fabric
  • Consistent, clean stitch results
  • Excellent for detailed embroidery

Cons

  • Non-divisible strands limit thickness adjustments
  • Skein length is limited to 28 meters
  • Not suitable for projects requiring thick stranded thread

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, remove the paper label carefully to avoid pulling the threads. Since the thread is non-divisible, ensure you select a needle with an eye size appropriate for a Size 25 thread to avoid unnecessary drag.

For care, finished pieces should be washed in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach to preserve the mercerised finish and colorfastness. Always iron finished embroidery from the reverse side using a pressing cloth to protect the dimensional quality of the stitches.
