Our loveliest vintage and contemporary linen threads in neon colours.
The Neon Vintage Linen Box is a series of 10, all contain the following rare and beautiful threads:
1 x Nordiska linen hemstitch skein, 1960's. This clear bright yellow thread is stranded and divides into 4 finer threads. In the mid century kits, three strands were often used together with the regular embroidery thread, to create a more interesting texture.
6 x skeins of our contemporary linen threads, 14m each
1 x twist of 1960's linen
1 x very fine HV linen for embroidery, made since the 1950s.
2 x Danish flowerthread: different neons in each box.
5 x vintage soft cottons, all stranded, all Swedish.
In then box you will also find yellow linen and 50 x 50 cm of our Fine Linen fabric and a postcard + envelope from The Patterned Book.
