Thread Sets for Embroidery

When starting embroidery or looking for a gift, a thread set is the practical choice: the colours of a range arrive in one box, coded and tidy. This category carries the DMC Eco Vita organic wool complete 60-skein set and the 30-skein collection box; Eco Vita is plant-dyed organic wool in 16 m skeins, the thread of crewel and modern wool embroidery. The range guide is in DMC Eco Vita, embroidery use in Eco Vita for Embroidery, the floss card in DMC 117 Floss.

Which Set for Whom?

The 60-skein set is for courses, workshops and anyone who wants the full card; the 30-skein box with its natural tones suits those starting botanical embroidery and gifting. Wool is stitched on linen and cotton in stem stitch, long-and-short and French knots with a size 3–5 chenille needle. Floss and pearl cotton sets are listed here as they arrive.
