Shipping and promise
Every pack is checked and packed by hand in our Australian studio. We post to most countries worldwide, and our threads are stitched by hand embroiderers globally. If anything is not right when it arrives, write to us and we will look after you.
Frequently asked questions
Q: I am a beginner, is this pack right for me?
A: Yes, this pack suits a beginner well, because stranded cotton is the most forgiving thread to learn on and the five solids give you even, predictable stitches while you find your rhythm. Anouk then gives you a variegated to graduate to when you are ready.
Q: What is included, and what do I need to supply?
A: The pack includes six 10m skeins of hand embroidery thread, one variegated hero and five solids. You will need to supply your own fabric, needle and hoop, as this is a thread pack rather than a full kit.
Q: Will these solids come back if I run out?
A: The solid embroidery thread colours in this pack are first-run test dyes, so most will not be repeated once the release sells through. Anouk is part of our permanent range, so can always be reordered on it's own.
Q: Do you ship overseas?
A: Yes, we post to most countries worldwide from our studio in Australia, and our hand dyed threads are used by stitchers globally. Everything is packed carefully so the skeins arrive in the condition they left us.
Take Anouk and the Stargazers home before the drop closes.
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.
