 Coton à broder is available in a large variety of colours that match with stranded cotton (floss) colours.

 If you prefer, you can substitute a single coton à broder or perle thread for two strands of stranded cotton (floss).

 Good-quality thread brands will be colourfast; they will not run and spoil your work. If using recycled threads of an unknown origin, always test for colourfastness before using on your embroidery.

 Be aware threads can deteriorate with age – colours fade and they may be weakened.

 As well as embroidery threads, you will also need sewing threads to make up your projects. Use a good-quality thread in a colour to match your fabric.
