Thread Sizes
Is this thread intended 18, 13 or both?
It's crucial to select the appropriate threads for the correct size canvas.
Some threads are compatible with both 18 and 13 mesh, while others are best for one specific size.
Always keep in mind that individual experiences may differ based on personal stitching preferences, tension, and style. What do I mean by this? Well, I only use Silk + Ivory on 13 mesh - that’s my preference. But that doesn’t mean you can’t use it on 18. I have many needlepoint friends who love using it on 18!
I encourage you to explore a variety of thread types to discover those
you prefer. It’s all about finding what works for you.
Everyone’s preferences are unique.
Stitching with a thread that you really love, whether it is the color, the feel, the coverage, the sheen… makes your needlepoint experience all that more enjoyable.
