Purveyors of
"gently" overdyed 6-strand cotton embroidery floss.
These threads are
exciting and fun to stitch with, and give your needlework a faded,
antiqued look. Your needlework projects stitched with Sampler
threads will never be a carbon copy of everyone elses because each
skein is unique in itself.
