Details
For all details regarding the Caron threads, how they dye their threads and suggestions and how to use their threads please visit the Caron.net site.
We will be listing our inventory of Watercolours, Wildflowers, Waterlillies, and Overdyed Impressions.
Watercolours is a three-ply pima cotton - It is suggested, on #18 canvas, two plies on #12, 13 or 14 canvas and three plies on #10 count.
Wildflowers is a single strand cotton which is dyed in all the same colors as Watercolours. The weight is between a #8 and #12 pearl cotton in weight - roughly the same as a flower thread. While Watercolours looks similar to a pearl cotton and has a silky sheen, Wildflowers has a matte finish when stitched.
Although the same dye formulas are used on both Watercolours and Wildflowers, the dye may cause a different look on the finished product.
This thread is available in 36-yard, 120-yard and 400-yard skeins. Cutting at the card/knot will yield all one-yard lengths.
For needlepoint use one strand on #24 canvas, two strands on #18, three strands on #16 or 13. For cross stitch use one strand over two threads on #32 -24 count evenweave fabrics. Use one strand over one thread on #18 and 14 count fabrics.
For hardanger, one strand is perfect for wrapped fillings on #22-30 count fabrics. Like Watercolours, use a single strand for most crewel work.
Waterlilies is a twelve-ply silk. Its counterpart in solid colors is called Soie Cristale, which is available through special order. Most of the Waterlilies colors will correspond to the Watercolours and Wildflowers colors.
The strands are divisible and this silk handles well, making it a perfect choice for embroidery on very fine fabrics as well as on larger counts of canvas and fabric. when cutting the skein at the knot, you will get six one-yard lengths. We can also special order Waterlillies in 40-yard and 100-yard skeins. As with any stranded fiber, Waterlilies should be stripped (separate all the strands and put them back together again).
The solid colors are imported and correspond to Soie Cristale silk colors.
Overdyed Impressions comes in 36-yard, 120-yard and 400-yard skeins and, like the other threads, can be cut into one-yard lengths.
One strand works well for most needlepoint stitches on 24-18 count canvas.
For cross stitch worked over two threads, one strand is suitable for 32-18 count fabrics. When doing cross stitch over one thread use 18, 16 or 14-count fabrics, including Aida.

Gift wrapping is not provided, however packaging notes; all orders are processed daily. To save you money our shipping method listed on Etsy is first class.

Care instructions
All items are wrapped by color in individual bags. As we are aware that individual colors like to "play" with each other during shipment, we have learned that packaging by color individually will ensure that like colors will only "play" with like colors. As such, you may receive 10- bags if you have ordered 10 different colors. This may seem wasteful, however, this is a protective measure, to ensure your products remain safe.
Return Policy-
We would prefer not to take returns- please see the 2 reasons below-
1. with COVID-any product being returned, will not be resold, - (We are sure you want fiber that you knew was not in a COVID home...) so as of this point, any fiber that is returned, is being destroyed.
2. Allergies are also a concern,
Some can be severe, so again, fiber returned from a home with pets-cannot be resold- This may seem extreme, but a reality for many.
If you have any issue or problem with your product purchase, please contact us directly to discuss your issue, we are willing to assist in any way we can.
