This gorgeous multi coloured 6-strand embroidery thread 12m card, in shade M4 pinks and purple, 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.
