Tea-dyed cotton and silk thread

Please note: with deep regret I am currently unable to ship this item to USA, Northern Ireland or Europe.

My usual range of thread, tea-dyed in various subtle shades of warm/golden creams. The silk threads are slightly darker than the cotton threads, and are a lovely warm golden cream. The cotton threads are a little paler, but still a very pretty warm cream. I like tea-dyes to be quite subtle, so these are (mostly) fairly pale. If you prefer a deeper colour, you can always dip them again in a brew of your choice.

TSB: Silk boucle, soft glossy textured yarn, good for couching (8 yards)
TS8: Spun silk, similar to perle 8, very lustrous (20 yards)
TS12: Spun silk, similar to perle 12 (30 yards)
FS: Spun silk, very fine, similar to one strand of DMC-type floss (40 yards)
FS (pink): limited quantity of fine silk from a previous dye batch that I felt came out a little 'too' pink. These have been over-dyed with tea and are now a pale dusky pink, very pretty

TCB: chunky cotton boucle, now discontinued as I can no longer source it so there's only a very limited quantity (10 yards)
TCB(f): fine textured cotton boucle, finer than the silk boucle and good for couching or adding texture (10 yards)
TC5: mercerised cotton perle 5 (20 yards)
DMC: 6-strand cotton floss (10 yards)
TC8: mercerised cotton perle 8 (25 yards)
FC: fine cotton roughly similar to perle 12 (30 yards) - very slightly pinker than the other cottons
XFC: extra-fine cotton (50 yards) - this one is also discontinued, so a very limited quantity

TDS tea-dyed silk mini collection (5 threads): smaller quantities, greater variety:
TSB silk boucle, 5 yards
TS3 silk perle 3 (now discontinued), 5 yards
TS8 silk perle 8, 10 yards
TS12 silk perle 12, 15 yards
FS fine silk, 25 yards

TDC tea-dyed cotton mini-collection (seven threads): as above, smaller quantities than the full skeins, but the full range together:
TCB chunky cotton boucle, 5 yards
TCB(f) fine cotton boucle, 5 yards
TC5 cotton perle 5, 10 yards
DMC 6-strand cotton, 5 yards
TC8 cotton perle 8, 15 yards
FC fine cotton, 15 yards
XFC extra fine cotton, 20 yards

All threads have been tea-dyed, washed and well-rinsed. I can't guarantee that any are completely colourfast. Thread quantities are approximate.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION for non-UK customers - please read before ordering:
- Please ensure that you pick the correct country from the drop-down menu. Choosing UK, when you don’t live in the UK, will cause the automated checkout to apply UK shipping rates, and this causes extra work for me as I then have to invoice you for the additional amount. You must pay the correct shipping rate for your country, please. I am sorry that I am currently unable to post items to USA, Northern Ireland or Europe.
- 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.
