Sajou's Retors du Nord - Box of 12 Essential Colors (#3) **New Lower Price**

This cotton embroidery floss is absolutely gorgeous. When I first saw it, I thought it was silk! The sheen is really stunning. This pretty box contains an assortment of 12 essential colors: 2030 (red), 2003 (pure white), 2043 (orpiment), 2190 (candyfloss), 2445 (olive), 2012 (bottle), 2223 (beige), 2029 (geranium), 2317 (pheasant), 2874 (gauloise blue), 2847 (pale blue) et 2005 (black). The price also includes a lovely storage box which is entirely covered inside and out with one of Sajou's blue paper.

Length on each card: 20 meters, four separable strands. It is slightly finer than DMC's stranded cotton, shinier and slides better.

Size of box: length 15cm - width 12cm - height 5cm.

Note: For ecological reasons, Retors du Nord thread is not colorfast. To make a thread colorfast involves using highly polluting treatments which the manufacturer does not believe in. It can be washed up to 100°F, just be careful never to use boiling water or bleach.
