This embroidery floss is a six-strand thread made from double mercerized 100-percent cotton fibers, providing an exceptional sheen and durability. Each skein measures 8.7 yards and is packed in a box containing twelve skeins. The floss is composed of six easily separable strands, allowing for versatile stitching results depending on the number of strands used. The color, medium old gold, is fade-resistant and washable, maintaining its vibrancy after washing or exposure to light. To care for the embroidery, use a mild soap, and after washing, wrap it in a towel to remove excess water before drying flat. For ironing, place the embroidery on a clean cloth while still damp and iron on the reverse side at a temperature suitable for the fabric. This high-quality floss is ideal for detailed embroidery projects, offering both flexibility and lasting color.
