Description

All of our variegated fine perle 16 threads in a gift box set of 24 skeins complete with a selection of high quality crewel and tapestry needles. The single strand cotton sews as size 16 perle embroidery thread in a beautiful range of variegated colours. The mercerised cotton gives a subtle sheen whilst being very strong and resistant to fluffing. As a professional hand embroidery studio, we select only the highest quality threads and wind them ourselves as a continuous length. There are no knots or joins. Size 16 perle threads are not easy to find and they lend themselves well to all embroidery techniques including cross stitch, blackwork, needlepoint, fine Hardanger, pulled or drawn thread work and other counted stitch techniques. In general embroidery, the gentle twist of the thread provides texture and definition. Pack of 24 x 20m (approx). Supplied on 2 numbered cards of 12. Needle book - A selection of 5 of the highest quality John James crewel and Tapestry needles with needle threaded. The full collection features all the colours of the rainbow, from cream to vibrant purples and reds. A wonderful gift for your embroidering friend or relative. We have tried to show colours as accurately as possible but please remember that these may vary on different screens.

How this was made

Veronica Kincaid-Bojang reviewed: Prick and Pounce Embroidery Image Transfer Kit ( UK Postage only)

"Prick&pounce set for design transfers arrived safely. Happy with the set and easy to use although there was less grey powder in the pot than the White powder.???"

Maire Curtis Lakeland Studio responded:

"Hello Veronica, Yes, this is simply matter of physics. The Charcoal is much more dense than the Kaolin and as such will settle and look less. Nonetheless, I measure these out by hand, so there is always slightly more than the 20ml anyway. Kind regards Maire"
