Anchor Embroidery Floss is a 6-ply embroidery thread made from extra-long, premium cotton fibers. Each of these 6 individual strands is double-twisted. The practical skein design allows for easy removal of the desired length of embroidery thread without having to unwind the entire skein.
Thanks to its flexible thread gauge, Anchor Embroidery Floss is the most widely used embroidery thread with a wide range of applications in almost all embroidery techniques. It's ideal for cross stitch on fabrics of varying densities, as well as for colored embroidery, canvas embroidery, and other counted embroidery.
This yarn's long cotton fibers and a double mercerization process give it its special shine, intense light reflection, and unique softness. Anchor Embroidery Floss is available in 8m skeins in 460 beautiful solid colors (washable at 95°C) and 24 vibrant multicolors (washable at 60°C).
