These sets bundle our variegated 100% cotton thread — 40 weight, 3 ply, dyed so the color changes every 1 to 2 inches. Every spool holds 600 meters (656 yards).

Variegated thread is awkward to buy one at a time, because the appeal is in having options — a colorway that sings on one quilt falls flat on the next. A set gives you a working range to pull from. The exact contents of this set are listed in the description above.

It's highly mercerized, which keeps lint down and is also what gives the colors their brilliance. Works for machine and hand quilting as well as decorative stitching and topstitching.
