Randoms mini thread collection
'Randoms' collections will normally consist of cotton and/or silk thread; they are labelled individually with the type and skein size.
These are randomly chosen (but loosely coordinating) mini-skeins of various types and sizes, good for adding to your collection and especially good for small projects like daily stitching. They are the same types of thread as listed elsewhere in the shop, but just not quite long enough for complete skeins, and just a bit too long for thread taster sets. Sometimes there will be a full-size skein which is either a discontinued line or the last of its kind. Buying two or more may (or may not) result in some duplicates.
Threads have been dyed with Procion fibre-reactive dye and have been well-washed and thoroughly rinsed, but as always I don't guarantee colour-fastness. If your project will need washing, then please test a small amount first. Yardages are approximate.
Please use the drop-down menu to choose:

Postage will be via standard first class in the UK or via tracked international shipping if you're outside the UK.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION for non-UK customers - please read before ordering:
- Please ensure that you pick the correct country from the drop-down menu. Any orders where the address and country do not correspond (for example, a US address with UK as the country) will be cancelled and refunded. Choosing UK, when you don’t live in the UK, will cause the automated checkout to apply UK shipping rates. You must pay the correct shipping rate for your country.
- Your purchase may be subject to additional customs charges depending on your location. You can use online import tax calculators to estimate what the additional import charges will be before you buy. Please be aware that I have no control at all over how much you will be charged in import duties; it is your responsibility to find out before making a purchase.
- Your customs office may occasionally open and inspect your parcel before delivering it to you. Please understand that I have no control over this.
- When paying by card, please try and remember your purchase when your bank statement arrives. The amount will look different because of the currency conversion. If you initiate a dispute with your bank because you don’t recognise the amount, I have to prove to your bank that you did make the purchase, and I am charged a non-refundable fee even if the purchase was genuine. Please contact me before initiating a dispute if you are in any doubt about your purchase.
