These 100% soy threads are delightful to use. They come in 228 colors. I particularly love the way they have grouped the threads into families. Each of the 57 families has four shades, ranging from dark to pale. The members of the family all have the same number with a letter designation to show the shade.
They come in 30 yard skeins, cut into 1 yard lengths. Large quantities are available by order. The threads are hand-painted with extremely subtle color variations, not even enough to call them varied. This adds a lovely depth to the colors which is not available in commercially dyed threads.
I tried the threads in a couple of Bargello projects as well as some Basketweave and textured stitches. Two strands worked beautifully for Bargello on 18 mesh. I kept feeling as if it wasn’t covering well as I was stitching, but the end result was complete coverage without feeling heavy.

I’m eager to try out these threads, too! I just came across them on the Needle in a Haystack website, and the names alone intrigued me. I’m glad to hear you like them!
