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?

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.
