1155, BLUE HERON

This hand over-dyed, 6-stranded Egyptian cotton fiber was Weeks Dye Works' initial product line. The colors are variegated enough to be noticeable, yet subtle enough to blend naturally. 5 yard skein. Because it is pliable, this fiber is perfect for surface embroidery, cross-stitch and needlepoint on many different counts of fabric and canvas. It also works great for punch needle (1-, 3- and 6-strand) and stitching on wool appliqué and penny rugs. NOTE... Weeks Dye Works recently changed their dyeing process so that most of our currently available fibers are colorfast. They did this in an environmentally responsible process. They are currently color fasting all of our floss colors, but haven't quite finished. Please refer to their Colorfast Policy for more details about the process.
