Creative Embroidery with space-dyed threads

by Via Laurie

 

 

Chameleon Threads come from South Africa and are proving very popular indeed.The thread range consists of hand-dyed stranded cotton, stranded rayon, stranded silk, perle 8 and special hardanger sets of matching perle 8 and 12 (though you can use these for any counted thread technique)The silk is really divine as they have used soie d'alger and soie perle from au vers a soie in France, which takes the dye beautifully and is really lovely to use.

There are also hand dyed linens to match the threads in 28 count and 38 count. These are particularly fabulous for using with the hardanger sets as all the colours work together beautifully.

And if you want more there are kit sets and thread and fabric packs for some of the designs in the book.
