*AIDA*
Choose from 5 lovely, soft aida colors for your project background:
- Pemberly Pink
- Meryton Mint
- Bennet Blue
- Longbourn Lilac
- Brighton Sand
*DYED FLOSS*
Our dyed floss starts on the highest-quality white DMC 6-strand cotton base, for the smoothest and cleanest stitching.
You'll receive 11 mini-skeins of hand-dyed thread, 6 yards of each color, individually carded on labeled tags. This will be plenty of thread to complete the Pride and Prejudice stitch-along, with some left over to use in future projects.
Assuming stitching with 2 strands, floss usage ranges from 184 stitches (~1.2 yards of 6-strand) to 581 stitches (~4 yards of 6-strand).
These threads are all semi-solid - they include subtle tonal variation within the strands, not full splashy or chunky variegation.

Care instructions: I use non-toxic industrial-quality synthetic dye that is considered permanent and colorfast, and all pieces are washed and rinsed thoroughly as part of the dyeing process. That said, I recommend a final rinse at home before use to ensure there's no color transfer to your stitching or household textiles.
To clean before or after stitching, I recommend a cool or lukewarm hand-wash in the sink with gentle soap, followed by a rinse and a warm iron if needed. Fabric edges are unfinished to allow you to cut to size as needed. Slight fraying is normal and usually very minor.
