Maxee 447-Color Embroidery Floss Kit with Tools — Threads for Cross Stitch & Crafts
Product description
Heritage-inspired colorfast dyeing: The threads are treated with a traditional dyeing approach using mineral and botanical pigments aimed at preserving vibrancy over time. The result is a collection of tones intended to resist fading so finished pieces retain their original saturation for years.
Premium fiber composition: Each skein is crafted from a refined blend of long-staple cotton and mulberry silk. The fibers are repeatedly polished to reduce fuzz and friction, producing a smooth, glide-friendly surface that helps prevent snags and reduces knotting while you stitch.
Contents and size: This kit supplies 447 individual skeins, each measuring approximately 8.75 yards (about 8 meters). The assortment spans a very wide color range so you can mix, match, and layer shades for detailed shading and creative projects.
Versatile for many crafts: Use the floss for cross stitch, embroidery, friendship bracelets, tassels, children's crafts, or seasonal decorations. The softness and sheen also make it suitable for delicate needlepoint and decorative accents.
Makes a thoughtful gift: Packaged for hobbyists and makers, the set is intended as a generous present for family or friends who enjoy DIY embroidery sessions together, offering a shared creative experience and a long-lasting supply of threads.

Quality floss and accurate color codes
Lovely, well-made floss. All 447 colors are unique with no repeats. I matched them to a DMC color card and the numbers lined up, which makes sorting and swatching very straightforward. Excellent skeins for building a reference chart.
