Description
Cherry Red is a tone with insistence. On bags and jackets it turns topstitching into a design element. Each skein measures 8 m and holds 6 separate strands you can divide as needed. A blunt embroidery needle finds the holes rather than the threads on counted fabric.
On counted fabrics like Aida you usually work with two or three strands; the fabric count decides, not taste. The skein is the handy amount: small enough to buy several tones, large enough for a whole design.
What Anchor Stranded Cotton 8 m Cherry Red is suitable for
- monograms on linen and towels
- satin stitch and stem stitch designs
- visible-stitch repairs
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 far does one skein go?
For a small to medium design usually well. If you plan a large area in one tone, two skeins are safer, since later batches can differ minimally.
Can I stitch any cross stitch chart with it?
Yes, as long as the chart gives Anchor numbers or a conversion. The tones have been stable for a long time, so older charts still match the current range.
Do I need an embroidery hoop?
For larger designs yes. A hoop keeps fabric evenly tensioned so stitches come out the same size. For a few centimetres of stitching the effort does not pay.
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.
