DMC 404 Eco Vita – Althea Cochineal

Description

This 100% organic non-mulesed wool has been dyed using infusions of completely natural ingredients such as walnut, rhubarb, indigo and juniper.
Its even thickness and gentle twist make it perfect for hand embroidery, cross stitching, punch needle, weaving and mending. Crewel wool thread is used as a single strand, and cannot be divided. It is approximately the same thickness as three strands of Mouline Special (stranded DMC).
Woolmark certified, this thread has undergone rigorous testing for colourfastness including for light, washing, rubbing and sweating.
Eco Vita 360 is a very versatile thread that is suitable for a wide range of craft techniques. Its fluffy quality adds softness, texture and a three-dimensional quality to needlework. Explore its properties as you create stunning embroidery designs, cross-stitch and textural punch needle projects. Projects can be hand washed at 30 degrees, so it’s ideal for visible mending, darning, weaving or embellishing cherished textiles.
There are over 60 luminous shades to choose from. From soft neutrals to bold vibrant hues, the natural dyes give the thread a gently mottled appearance that adds a touch of authenticity and organic beauty to your makes.
