Valdani 6-Strand Embroidery Floss is a hand-dyed, colorfast cotton thread known for its rich overdyed colorways and beautifully subtle color transitions. Whether you're stitching cross stitch, embroidery, needlepoint, punch needle, or other counted thread projects, Valdani floss adds warmth, depth, and natural variation to every stitch.
Unlike many hand-dyed threads, Valdani's unique dyeing process creates soft, gradual color changes while maintaining excellent colorfastness. The six easily separated strands allow you to adjust coverage for a wide variety of stitching techniques, making Valdani a favorite among stitchers who appreciate both versatility and beautiful color.
Because Valdani embroidery floss is hand dyed, slight variations between dye lots are a natural part of its character. Purchasing all the floss needed for a project at one time can help minimize noticeable dye lot differences.
