Anchor Strcnded Cotton is madę up of 6 strands of cotton, looseiy twisted together.
Separate and use the number of strands in the needle as indicated cn thc key. It is rccommended that you cut the threod to lengths no longer than 50cm for use when stitching.
When stitching you are reguired to maintoin an even tension. To cchieve this we recommend the use of an embroidery hoop or framc.
Work areas of one colour when the stitches cre close to one another, but do not be tempted to 'jump' to another area too for cway as it is easy to waste thread by doing this and thc bock of the design may look very untidy.
