Type of Floss:
FurTaStitch Floss is 100% nylon. The fuzzy thread is made in Italy by Italyarns and is available in 11 yard (10 meter) skeins.
Range of Colors:
FurTaStitch is available in around fifty colors. The floss is great for stitching animals, beards, and any motif where texture is desired.
Characteristics of FurTaStitch:
FurTaStitch is very strong. The 100% nylon thread does not break or fray easily. FurTaStitch may be hand washed with gentle soap and laid flat to dry, but it should not be ironed.
Tips for Usage:
Use one ply for most fabric counts. It is best to use a hoop or frame for projects. Watch your stitching tension as you work with this floss.
Use a laying tool or a large tapestry needle to control the floss as you stitch. Completing each cross stitch as you go will also make it easier to stitch with FurTaStitch. After stitching, use a small brush to increase the volume of the floss. A clean soft tooth brush or the soft end of Judy's Boo Boo Stick will work well.
Due to the dye process, colors may vary, so purchase enough floss of one dye lot for your entire project when working on a large piece.
