When you're an avid crafter/sewer, you know you need ALL of the colors of thread to feel complete, but it can be hard to find thread that rises to the occasion without breaking the bank. Gutermann for their top-shelf thread because of its strength and quality performance- so it won't give out on you. The "Basics" kit was created based on what specific shades of the rainbow are used most frequently by sewists. The reds, yellows, and oranges are primary and vibrant. The greens, blues, and earth tones are subdued- making for a color store that covers, well, the basics. Even better, the thread has been mercerized which minimizes shrinkage, locks the dye into place to prevent bleeding, and gives a silk-like sheen. Comes with 20 spools each containing 110 yards.
