Shipping and promise
Every pack is checked and wrapped by hand in our Australian studio. We post to most countries worldwide, and these threads are stitched by hand embroiderers globally. If something is not right when it lands, write to us and we will sort it out.
Frequently asked questions
Q: What comes in the pack, and what do I need to have already?
A: You receive seven 10m skeins, being one Harvest speckle and six solid colourways, each pre-cut into 50cm lengths. Fabric, needle and hoop are not included, since this is a thread pack rather than a full kit.
Q: Will these colours come back if I run out?
A: The six solids are dyed in small numbers for this drop, so most will not be repeated once it sells out. It is worth buying the pack rather than a single skein if a project needs the full range.
Q: Can I use this cross-stitch thread for other kinds of stitching?
A: Yes, stranded cotton suits cross stitch, hand embroidery, quilting, needlepoint and slow stitching equally. Split it down to one, two or three strands for cross stitch, depending on your fabric count.
Q: Do you post overseas?
A: We post to most countries worldwide from our studio in Australia, so order from wherever you stitch. Every pack is packed carefully so the skeins arrive tidy.

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.
