Cosmo Seasons Embroidery Floss, #8027

Cosmo embroidery floss is made from 100% extra-long-staple cotton — a superior grade of raw fibers that makes up less than 2% of the world's cotton supply. Extra-long-staple cotton is known for its strength and elasticity, which are both important elements of the finished product. Embroidery floss needs to resist breakage while also being soft and springy, allowing the fiber artist to render a wide range of textures. We love the nature-inspired colors and the signature sheen of Cosmo floss. Every project feels a bit more special when stitched with this lovely material. Seasons is Cosmo's name for variegated floss, with different colors mixed together on the same skein. There are several ways of creating variegated floss, and Cosmo offers three different Seasons ranges: Seasons #5000-5999: Complete color change every 8 cm Seasons #8000-8999: Gradual color changes across the entire skein Seasons #9000-9999: Random, sudden color changes Each skein of Cosmo Seasons is 8 meters (8.75 yd.) in length.
