Question
I recently purchased a cross stitch pattern that calls for overdyed floss. I am having a hard time finding it. Can you recommend somewhere to purchase this type of floss.

Answer
Hello, Missy :)

I know of one place that sells hand over-dyed floss, and it's located here:

http://www.123stitch.com/weeks.html

They also sell these types:

http://www.123stitch.com/gentle.html

http://www.123stitch.com/crescentcolours.html

http://www.123stitch.com/Weeks_Dye_Works_Pearl_Cotton_Five_Floss.html

I hope that you'll find what what you're looking for on those sites. :)

Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela :)

I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)
