260 cones of strong polyester machine embroidery thread, each cone 1100 yards, 40 wt
Brand: ThreaDelight

This embroidery thread kit includes 260 gradient colors - the entire ThreaDelight polyester color palette.

There are NO duplicate colors. Each color family includes colors from light to dark, to allow you embroider bold, artistically looking designs.

Many designs, especially floral and abstract ones, look amazing when embroidered using a single color family. And these are exactly the patterns most suitable for clothes, linens and fashion accessories. It's difficult to over evaluate the importance of having gradient colors in your stash.

A little more about the thread itself:

It's weight is 40 wt. The quality is awesome. It looks a bit thicker than other 40wt thread brands we've tried, and this bit of extra volume seems to have very good impact on embroideries. The designs come out dimensional and beautiful. This difference is especially noticeable on towels.

This thread is also exceptionally shiny and colorfast. It's perfect for items that require frequent laundry, are exposed to sun or moisture - like kids clothing, bed & table linens.

Each cone has a small plastic leg. They are steady, leg diameter is 1.6 inches, cone height is 2.7 inches. Because of the proper leg shape and size, the thread unwinds and feeds up properly.

The cones come with neat red caps that can lock thread ends and prevent your thread from unwinding while you aren't embroidering.
