Tone on Tone Embroidery

First the Embroidery, then the dyeing

We are frequently asked how the embroidery thread we supply reacts to subsequent dyeing.

The following should be noted:

  • 1. Embroidery thread and fabric should be made of the same raw material. For cottons we recommend our cotton thread COTTY, colour 156. On man-made fabrics we recommend our rayon thread SULKY, colour 1071.
  • 2. Different materials react differently to dyeing. For this reason, it is advisable to test beforehand.
  • 3. All embroidery threads are treated with a lubricant. The dyer should remove this finish before dyeing.

If you follow these instructions, we are sure that your tone on tone embroidery will be a complete success.
