Lets Talk About Threads...

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

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

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

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...

Dream Assortment #1 - Amazon

Dream Assortment #2 - Amazon

123 Stitch

Red Rock Threads

Sulky

Also, many Fabric Stores,

Quilting Shops and Needlework Shops

handle Sulky 12wt
