Product Details
Sold per 40 meter (43 yard) spool, Tentakulum Flower thread is a 1 ply matte cotton (equivalent to the size of a Pearl Cotton #12) that is spun from plain cotton without any finishing — i.e., Flower Thread is not mercerized. Flower Thread is wonderful for all embroidery, quilting, smocking Kumihimo braiding, lacework and more. You can use it to create a contrast to, for example, high-gloss and color-intensive silk threads, and even use it in your sewing machine (topstitching or bobbin work). This product’s “Flower” name is derived from the work of Danish artist Gerda Bengtsson, who created cross-stitch patterns for flower and herb pictures in order to encourage a resurgence of embroidery skills, and had a special cotton thread colored with vegetable dyes manufactured. While now the product is hand dyed with Tentakalum-exclusive space dyes, the color palettes are still matched with the shades of the original vegetable dyes. Available in 40 colors, select below (note that swatch photographs are for illustration only -- since all Tentakulum products are individually hand-painted fibers and textiles, your product may vary in color ranges).
