A great opportunity to kit yourself out with the complete 96 colors of our Retors du Nord embroidery thread. The threads come in this lovely box, a delight for your studio. The box is entirely covered inside and out with one of our blue papers.
Retors du Nord is French for "twisted thread from the North," the traditional home of the French textile industry. This 100% cotton thread is a 4-ply embroidery floss whose plies can be easily separated, making it ideal for almost any type of embroidery or cross-stitch. Each card has approximately 22 yards (22 meters) of thread. We will also supply a large pattern chart which will enable you to embroider a marvellous vintage style color chart. A work of art worthy of its' place in the home of all embroiderers!
The cover and interior are decorated with a large round Retors du Nord label (15.5 cm diametre).
Size of box: 29.5 cm long - 21 cm wide - 7.5 cm high.
For ecological reasons, Retors du Nord thread is not colourfast. To make a thread colorfast involves using highly polluting treatments, for us, totally unjustified for embroidery purposes. However, it can be washed up to 40° - just be careful never to use boiling water or bleach.
We highly recommend using our Retors du Nord embroidery threads with our new Red Album series.
