This gorgeous multi coloured 6-strand embroidery thread 12m card, in shade M3 yellow, green and blue, can be used to add a gorgeous multicoloured effect all your creative embroidery projects.  Split and use one, two, three or more strands as required.  It is mercerised, with a subtle sheen. The colour range in these threads is different to what we usually find in brands like Anchor or DMC.

While this is not a sashiko or kogin thread and should not be expected to be as hardwearing, it can be used to extend your colour range for items that won't get very hard use. It would look amazing used for ultra colourful kogin, on 20 count fabric. I find the simpler kogin patterns show off multicoloured threads most effectively.

  • Kogin threads skeins have to be opened out before use. Slide of the skein band first. You will find all the thread is tied together at one point.  Cut through the skein at the knot, so all the threads are cut (you'll find these are the ideal length for stitching doubled).  Push all the thread through the skein band, and then plait the thread loosely.  Pull out each thread as you need it from the loop end of the plait, not the 'fringed' end. This saves time trying to wind the thread into a ball, keeps it tidy and you know the thread shade number if you need to re order.
