DESCRIPTION
As stitchers ourselves, we designed our threads with you in mind - so you'll love the colour, feel the difference, and find joy in every stitch.
Thoughtfully dyed
Every thread colour is available in 5, 10, or 50 metre skeins. We begin by selecting the world's finest long-staple cotton, then hand-dye each skein with short colour changes and seamless blends - so you can enjoy stunning variegation even when stitching the finest details.
Continuity from Start to Finish
Our threads are conveniently pre-cut to length*, with the same colour at each end. This means a seamless transition every time you finish a length and reload your needle - no jarring colour breaks, just beautiful, uninterrupted work.
Low knotting, low frustration
From preparation to finished thread, our meticulous process delivers a high sheen and an impressively low knotting rate. Say goodbye to frustrating knots interrupting your flow.
Clever Packaging
Our pop and drop packaging for 10m skeins keeps all your thread information right at hand. Simply pull on the left-hand side of the skein - it untwists and is ready to use, length by length or strand by strand.*5m and 10m Stranded threads are pre-cut 50cm lengths. 50m skeins are continuous and dyed to order. Please allow 2-3 weeks for 50m skeins. See the Packaging tab for more information.
Thread Lengths & Weights
Stranded – 6 stranded thread is divisible into 6 strands and can be used as a single strand or multiple strands together. CGT stranded threads come in three lengths:
- 5m (5 yd, 16.85 in) cut into 50cm (19.685 in) lengths,
- 10m (10 yd, 93 in) cut into 50cm (19.685 in) lengths and
- 50m (54 yd, 24.5in) in one continuous strand.
By special order, CGT threads also come in two weights - Perle 8 and Perle 12. Perle thread has a sheen finish because it is a round thread. The higher the number of Perle – the finer the thread. Perle 12 is equivalent to 2 strands of stranded cotton. Perle 8 is equivalent to 4 strands of stranded cotton. CGT Perle threads are 15m (16 yd, 40 in) continuous.
Our Clever Packaging
A note from the dye room
Every skein of Cottage Garden Threads is hand-dyed in small batches, giving our hand-dyed threads the depth and character only true small-batch dyeing can create. We've spent years perfecting the batch-to-batch consistency that's rare among hand-dyed threads, but because no two dye days are ever identical, we follow a simple rule of thumb: buy enough, plus one. That extra skein keeps your project within a single dye lot, and you'll spot the symbol on our packaging as a friendly reminder. Curious about how hand-dyed thread dye lots work? Read more on our blog: dye lots
Shipping & dispatch
Our small-batch studio handles every step in-house - from dye pot to packaging to post, so here's what to expect. In-stock colours are usually dispatched within 48 hours, though during sale periods this can extend to 5–7 days while we work through a flurry of orders. For full details, see our Shipping Policy.
Notes on colour
We photograph every hand-dyed thread in natural light and colour-check each image carefully, so what you see on our website is as true to the real skein as we can make it. That said, every monitor, phone, and browser displays colour a little differently - so the shade on your screen may vary subtly from the thread in your hand. If you're matching a specific colour or planning a treasured project, we're always happy to help guide you to the right shade - just get in touch with the studio.

Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your lovely review Wendy! Your stitcheries look gorgeous 🥰 Happy Stitching 😊🪡
Just finished my Cottage Garden Thread Wallet🤗🌹The original wallet pattern only has room for 30 threads, and as I’m a bit of a 'go hard or go home' kinda gal, well, I tripled it😝 Also made the inside folder able to double as a work station, so I can have access to all the threads, or just the ones currently being used🤗 My embroidery is very beginner, so please don’t look too closely, but it’s bright and happy, and makes me smile☺️The CGThreads are such a delight to work with, and the colours are quite glorious🌹 Best part in my new wallet, is there’s a whole new section, waiting to be filled😝🤗😉🌹🌹🌹 I’m loving the new journey of marrying the EPP with embroidery, and can’t wait to get started on my Gwennies Garden quilt🤗🌹 Thanks so much for creating such luscious colours to play with🌹
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your stunning review! I absolutely love your creativity and the idea of tripling your thread capacity! Your wallet looks wonderful, and I’m so happy our colours are bringing you joy on your stitching journey. That extra section won’t stay empty for long! Thank you for sharing your beautiful enthusiasm with us! Happy Stitching 😊🪡
This Olive Harvest set was perfect to use for this October Quaker by From the Heart. That speckle skein was the best part of adding something special here and there on the pattern. I just chose to use it on the flower motifs. Please release more kits (even if not harvest themed - seasonal appropriate would be great too!)!

I am very new to this craft. I have been doing FignBerry Christmas samplers and until i got these Bohin needles and beautiful silky threads from Cottage Garden Threads (this is King Parrot) my work was very clunky.

The thread colours I chose especially for my miniature rock pool stitching. They are perfect mixed with a little glitter and sparkles in the beads and sequens.

I am working on my Field Journal blocks. 22 done so far. Using the variegated threads is fun, never knowing exactly where the colours will sit....but always looking so good.
Store owner replied: These look great! Thank you for sharing, and Happy Stitching 😊🪡
The colours in Apricot Ice are beautiful together. I love how they compliment each other in the overall look. The cotton itself is top quality which makes the sewing experience heaven. I go back to Cottage Garden Threads over and over again. Love them.
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your lovely review! Your stitching is stunning, as always! Thank you for sharing, and Happy Stitching 😊🪡
I'm working on my pocket full of posies by Rachael Daisy. Combination of aplique and different embroidery techniques. I will probably hand quilt it too

My thread sheets. Threads that i am using for a set project. Easy to find each thread roll sheet up and but with your project very portable. Hope it helps someone it works for me. Thanks to Cottage Threads.
Store owner replied: Such a great idea! Thank you for sharing 🥰 Happy Stitching 😊🪡
I just fell in love with the colours in Mayhem and found an all over pattern to try and show it off
Store owner replied: Absolutely stunning! Monochrome patterns work so well with the speckled threads like Mayhem 😍 Thank you so much for your gorgeous review, and Happy Stitching 😊🪡
My love of circles and french knots has lead me to this tree. I was after soft and sweet which I think using Honesty for the trunk and branches has given me that look. A good colour transition just added the right amount of variation I needed. Between Honesty and using Bridal Veil for flowers, I think I have achieved what I was after.
Store owner replied: Karen this is just gorgeous! It's definitely giving soft and sweet, even a little bit ethereal. Thank you so much for your lovely review, and Happy Stitching 😊🪡
I’m making a book of Circles and French Knots. Bridal Veil had just the right amount of colour transition to give the impression of new and older flowers on this tree. Bridal Veil has given life to my tree and gives the over all feeling of peace when I look at it.
Store owner replied: It's definitely a peaceful image, you've certainly achieved what you were after! Thank you so much for your lovely review, and Happy Stitching 😊🪡
Made with threads from a previous order. All threads purchased go into my stash which means I have a wonderful but difficult decision to make when starting a new project. Like the proverbial kid in a lolly shop. 😀

Store owner replied: Your little fan is too sweet! And we totally get the kid in a lolly shop thing, that's the majority of us here whenever new colours are happening 🙈 Thank you for your lovely review, and Happy Stitching 😊🪡
Perfect colour palette for this gorgeous mermaid. Loving the subtile variations - even more when i blended one strand of two neighbouring shades!

Store owner replied: That dark green and black is calling for something Halloween-y! Thank you for your lovely review, and Happy Stitching 😊🪡
I love variegated thread so I was thrilled to come across this Marigold thread. Thread glides through the fabric with ease, love how the thread is pre cut into prefect lengths for stitching. Just beautiful thread to use. I was so happy with my first order that I have already placed a second order. Heaps of colours to choose from. I guarantee you will not be disappointed
Store owner replied: Your stitches are so neat, this is mesmerising! Thank you for sharing your masterpiece with us 😍 Happy Stitching 😊🪡
I’m hand sewing a scrap when I have spare minutes. I love bright colour and clashing patterns. I’ve made many quilts over the years but this is my first hand stitched one. I don’t like waste and I can take several with me and stitch wherever I am.
Store owner replied: An explosion of colour! This gives off the same vibes as our Chaos collection, I love it! Thank you so much for your lovely review, and Happy Stitching 😊🪡
Just start my journey with EPP. A friend gifted me a charm pack of fabric, a glue pen and the paper pieces to keep me occupied during my recovery from surgery for a servere quad tendon rupture. I can sit elevate my leg and make hexies to my hearts delight The tack it tool makes it sooo easy. I purchased the complete set. I can see me becoming addicted😆😆

I love this device it is fabulous to work with! This is my first time trying EPP. The background fabric I machine appliqued the EPP flowers on to is Andover's Downtown Abby's fabric line. I'm not crazy about this combo now that it is almost finished... but done is better than perfect. The Tack It Easy 1 " Hex template made it easy peasy!
