Discover the Versatility of 8wt Hand Embroidery Threads

8wt threads are an excellent choice for most hand embroidery projects, especially for beginners. Their thickness makes them ideal for mastering common stitches, and their smooth surface helps them glide easily through fabric. Whether you're stitching on cotton, linen, or wool, 8wt hand embroidery threads give you great control and strong coverage.

You can do much more with these threads than traditional embroidery. They also work well for hand and machine couching. Some makers even use them in knitting or crochet to add texture and creative flair.

Explore the Detail Work with 12wt Threads

This sampler also includes 12wt threads, which are slightly finer than 8wt. Their thinner profile makes them perfect for more intricate stitching and precise detail work. They’re great for crisp lines, delicate curves, and patterns that require extra finesse.

What sets 12wt threads apart is their flexibility. Not only do they work beautifully for detailed hand embroidery, but they can also be used with domestic sewing machines. In fact, 12wt is the thickest thread that still fits safely through the needle of most standard machines. Use it for decorative topstitching, free motion quilting, appliqué, or thread painting. The bold, textured stitches will make your work stand out.
