ARTEZA Embroidery Thread Pack, 80 Skeins, 14 Variegated Colors, Mercerized Cotton

My grandchildren loved the vibrant colors and I was pleased with how whatever they created “held up” despite them playing outside/swimming while wearing them. I have purchase other colors as well!

Nice!

These are what I consider a satin finish rather than a gloss like most of my other embroidery threads. The color mixes are very pleasing. I have had some trouble with the threads getting stuck and making their own knots while doing some stitching. Decided to use these for doing some repair work on a cotton/polyester work shirt where the cuffs are wearing and buttonholes need reinforcing and some holes need darning. Red and gray and black plaid, so the variegated theme fits right in. The threads are working fine for that with a little beeswax to help things along and all six threads in the needle. I can switch from variegated red to variegated black and gray where I need it. For finer embroidery or huck weaving, not sure I would use them.

I was working on a piece of embroidery using up some leftover floss, and realized I needed a larger quantity of blues to get my desired result. This was more floss than I needed, but I like the selection of colors. We’ll see how the floss stands up after repeated washing - it’s going onto a garment. I plan to update once I know.

This thread is beautiful however it pulls apart as you work your project

Not much to say, it was many more skeins than I initially thought. But that is nothing to complain about. I have used this brand of thread before and it works just fine for the bracelets I make.

Will buy again. Very pleased

PROS-great variety of colors and shades-each thread changes shades, allowing for interesting patternsCONS-threads are a bit rough-threads can snap easily if pulled harshly through a canvasThese are intended probably for frienship bracelets and not for embroidery or cross stitch. They work for such, but the user needs to be careful and work slowly.I recommend them for simple projects like bracelets. Great value, but not suitable for embroidery.
