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!
Thanks so much for this tip. Happy stitchin’ bargello needlepoint. Althea
Hi, I have seen the Mouline Madeira floss for sale at The Quilted Kimono, Mooney Street, Aitkenvale.

Michelle.
Thanks for the “heads-up” on the embroidery thread! What a great treasure you have received. I wish you success in selling the embroidery floss. Althea
Still interested in purchasing more of this embroidery thread? I’ve got a huge supply! I’m currently fundraising for Harvey Milk Civil Rights Academy – a San Francisco public elementary school, and a very generous person donated a large stock of new / unopened packs of the Madeira Mouline embroidery floss. I’ve got just shy of 500 packages of the stuff. My plan was to sell it on eBay (I already have 170+ packs of the Madeira Silk up for auction) but if you are interested let me know!
You can purchase Madeira Egyptian Cotton at the following internet store sewingandcraftclub.com
I found them at this site: http://www.threadexpress.com Just received my first order from them, they look wonderful
The store claims to have every color in stock, however I’m still missing a few colors in my order, and unfortunately, they do not do backorders at this time, so you’ll just have to keep ordering any color they were out of stock until they re-stock it……
Anja, I’ve been told that you can find these at embroidery shops in England or Australia. Althea
They are still not available in Europe – or I can´t find them. Do you have any idea?
Thanks for letting me know about your supply of this embroidery floss. Althea
