Weeks Dye Works hand-dyed embroidery threads are loved for their rich, earthy color palettes and beautiful overdyed color variation. Inspired by nature and carefully hand dyed in small batches, these six-strand cotton threads add warmth, depth, and character to cross stitch, embroidery, needlepoint, and other counted thread projects.

Every skein is hand dyed, creating the distinctive overdyed color changes that make Weeks Dye Works a favorite among stitchers. Whether you're creating a historic sampler, seasonal design, floral project, or modern pattern, these threads bring subtle movement and visual interest that solid-color threads simply can't replicate.

Because Weeks Dye Works threads are hand dyed, slight variations between skeins and dye lots are a natural part of their charm. Purchasing all the thread you'll need for a project at one time can help minimize noticeable dye lot differences.
