Lets Talk About Threads...

Sulky Petites 12wt Cotton Thread - review by ThreeSheepStudio.com
Sulky Petites 12wt Cotton Thread 

 In my August Newsletter,
I reviewed Sulky Petites Thread.
Since that Newsletter went out,
I have received many, many requests 
for the review again...
I have decided to share it here,
as a reference.

'Lets Talk About Threads'
is my honest opinion.  I am not, in any way,
compensated or affiliated with Sulky.

Sulky Petites 12wt Cotton Thread

Sulky Petites 12wt Cotton Thread...
Gorgeous 100% Egyptian Cotton,
mercerized, long-staple thread.

Perfect for Cross Stitch
and Hand Embroidery.

130 solid colors and 
120 'Blendables', variegated, 
randomly changing shades,
every 2-5 inches.



Sulky Petites 12wt Cotton Thread - review by ThreeSheepStudio.com
Sulky Petites 12wt Cotton Thread

There are 50 yards of thread
on EACH Sulky Petites 12wt spool.

1 strand of Sulky 12wt
equals 2 strands of floss.
I personally was tired of always
running out of thread/skeins
and dealing with dye lot difficulties.

And, as a bonus, this thread
does not tangle as often,
like floss has a tendency to do.

It is premium quality
and colorfast.



Sulky Petites 12wt Cotton Thread - review by ThreeSheepStudio.com
Sulky Petites 12wt Cotton Thread

Sulky 12wt Thread provides
beautiful coverage, as shown in above photo.
I've worked 1 strand of 12wt Sulky
over 2 linen threads on
28ct, 32ct and 36ct Linen.

There is a very slight twist to the
Sulky Thread, which allows it to
smoothly glide through the Linen.



Sulky Petites 12wt Cotton Thread - review by ThreeSheepStudio.com
Sulky Petites 12wt Cotton Thread

I purchased two cases of Sulky Petites,
(Dream Assortment #1 and #2).
However, you can order single spools 
or smaller assortment packs
to meet your needs.
As you build your stash of thread, 
you can then purchase the storage cases
through Sulky.  Whatever works best
for your needs.

Sulky Petites 12wt can be purchased
at the following...
Also, many Fabric Stores,
Quilting Shops and Needlework Shops
handle Sulky 12wt
