Caron Threads Wildflowers

Wildflowers is a single strand cotton which we dye in all the same colours as Watercolors. It is between a #8 and #12 perle cotton in weight – roughly the same as a flower thread. While Watercolors looks similar to a perle cotton and has a silky sheen, Wildflowers looks more like a fine wool and has a matte finish when stitched. It can be used successfully on a wide range of fabrics and canvases. In addition to all of the uses listed for Watercolours, Wildflowers is excellent for lacemaking and tatting.

Although the same dye formulas are used on both Watercolors and Wildflowers, the same colours on both threads may look different. Interesting effects can be achieved by using both threads in the same piece in the same colour. Hardanger embroidery lends itself particularly well to the use of both threads.
