Cottage Garden Thread Stranded Cotton No. 1001 Red Carnation

Hand-Dyed Variegated Stranded Cotton — No. 1001 Red Carnation

Cottage Garden Threads (CGT) begins with the world's finest long-staple cotton, then hand-dyes each skein with short colour changes and seamless blends. No. 1001 Red Carnation is a vivid, floral red — bright and clear, with the fresh intensity of a freshly cut carnation — that brings bold, joyful colour to your embroidery.

• Pre-cut to length — the same colour appears at each end, so every new length picks up exactly where the last left off
• Low knotting, low frustration — smooth, consistent tension from first stitch to last
• Pop-and-drop packaging — thread information stays right at hand; pull the left side of the skein and it untwists instantly, ready to use length by length or strand by strand
• 10 m skeins — generous enough for substantial projects, compact enough to travel

A classic, eye-catching red for traditional stitching on dark fabric, floral embroidery, and contemporary textile art.

Note: 
Stranded Cotton thread is difficult to manipulate and keep smooth for sashiko stitching but is perfect for cross stitch and traditional embroidery.
