Description
Warm and full: Apricot suits autumn projects as much as children's clothes that are allowed to be colourful. The skein's 6 strands add up to 8 m of embroidery thread — enough for a medium design. The skein is sold singly.
Stranded cotton is meant for hand work: cross stitch, satin stitch, stem stitch — everything made without a machine. A hand embroidery thread without a special purpose: it works on counted fabric, linen and cotton weaves alike. Before washing the finished piece a colour test on a scrap pays off. Part-used skeins are best kept in your box with their band.
What Anchor Stranded Cotton 8 m Apricot is suitable for
- monograms on linen and towels
- borders and decorative lines on linen
- freehand embroidery without a chart
Sewing tips
- Den Strang nicht auseinanderziehen, sondern das Fadenende vorsichtig herausziehen.
- Zum Teilen die gewünschte Anzahl Fäden einzeln herausziehen und wieder zusammenlegen.
- Fadenlänge etwa 40 bis 50 Zentimeter — längere Fäden verdrehen sich und fransen.
- Eine Sticknadel mit stumpfer Spitze nimmt bei Zählstoffen die Löcher statt der Fäden.
- Vor dem Waschen des fertigen Stücks eine Farbprobe machen, besonders bei kräftigen Rottönen.

Frequently asked questions
How do I take thread out of the skein?
Do not pull the skein apart; draw the end out gently. A skein is wound so the thread runs free from one side and tangles from the other.
May I wash the embroidery?
Yes, this cotton is colourfast. With strong reds and blues a test on a scrap still pays off before the finished piece goes into a machine for the first time.
How do I keep the skeins?
With their band, dry and out of the light. Without the band the colour number cannot be identified later, and that is exactly what you need when restocking a chart you started.
Does this thread suit children?
Yes, for learning to stitch cotton is the easiest pick: it does not slip, it is easy to hold and it forgives uneven stitches more readily than a smooth machine thread.
