Oh where, oh where has this great cotton embroidery floss gone?
MADEIRA’s stylish 6 strand cotton embroidery floss is made from the finest high quality Egyptian cotton–you know, that wonderful cotton that fluffy bathrobes and towels are made of.
Only this special Egyptian cotton provides beautiful softness and luster that’s only found in Madeira Mouliné. It comes in 379 different colors.
The next best thing about this embroidery floss, is that it is absolutely effortless to strand because it is comes in useful spiral packs that allow for easy handling and keep the thread clean and tangle free at all times.
Unfortunately, it seems you can’t easily find it anymore. I had about 20 packs in 10 different colors in my Bargello needlepoint stash, and they are being used up for the 2010 Bargello Challenge.
I would LOVE to get my hands on some more. Does anyone know where I can purchase some? I’ve found the silk thread which is also conveniently packaged; but can’t seem to locate the Egyptian cotton embroidery floss–even after scouring the web for hours!
Let me know if you have access to this wonderful embroidery floss. I’d love to replenish my stash!
