DESCRIPTION
This hand dyed rainbow embroidery thread pack gathers twelve solid colours pulled straight from that first soft rush of the season; new leaf greens, blossom pinks, a wash of wisteria, sunlight caught in butter yellow. Each 10m skein of stranded cotton is dyed by hand in our Australian studio, then packaged with care in our clever built in floss drop system.
Why you’ll love it
- Stitch a whole season from one palette: twelve solid colours curated to sit beautifully together, so every combination you pull works without second-guessing.
- Solids that behave like our variegateds feel: the same premium stranded cotton, hand-dyed in small batches for depth you can see in every strand.
- A limited release - honestly limited: each seasonal palette is dyed in small numbers, and when a batch is gone it's gone.
- Pairs with what you already own: solid colours are the quiet partners to variegated threads, perfect for outlines, shadows and letting a hero colour sing.

Frequently asked questions
Q: I’m a beginner, is this set right for me?
A: Yes, stranded cotton is suitable for a beginner as this thread is the most forgiving thread to learn with. These are solid colours; every stitch looks even and intentional, and a rainbow set gives you a perfect starter palette.
Q: What’s included, and what do I need to supply?
A: The pack includes twelve 10m skeins of hand embroidery thread and the timber thread keeper. You’ll just need your own fabric, needle and hoop. This is a thread pack rather than a full kit.
Q: Can I use these for cross stitch?
A: Absolutely, our stranded cotton works beautifully as cross stitch thread. Separate the six strands to suit your fabric count, exactly as you would with any embroidery floss.
Q: Do you ship internationally?
A: We do ship internationally. This rainbow embroidery thread pack posts worldwide from our Australian studio, carefully packed. Shipping options and pricing are shown at checkout for your country.
Q: Is it gift ready?
A: This thread pack is a perfect gift. The timber thread keeper makes the set feel like a small heirloom straight out of the package, and it’s a favourite of gift buyers who want something a maker will actually use.
Q: Will this colourway be available again?
A: Rainbow Spring is a limited seasonal release, dyed in small batches. We can’t promise a palette will return in exactly the same form, so if it’s caught your eye, grab it now.
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.
