A muted, poetic palette for makers and contemplative stitchers. Dried Lichen draws from stone, bone, and the fragile bloom of lichen on old wood. It’s full of shadows and subtle sh ifts—grays, black, off-white, ivory, and a hint of aged tan. These are the threads of winter walks and linen-bound sketchbooks. Thread types may include:• Hand-sewing thread• Sashiko thread• Buttonhole twist• Embroidery floss• Thin utility cord—and more Fiber content: Mostly cotton and silk, with the occasional strand of linen or high-quality polyester (we let beauty and story be our guides). Spools + cards: Expect a mix—wooden, paper, bakelite, plastic. Pristine, patinaed. Some wrapped in history, some in mystery. Uses: Stitch them. Frame them. Pet them. (No judgment.) They’re great for visible mending, embroidery, collage, and studio display. Condition: Some threads are pristine, others show their age with a bit of fading or spotting. We’ve included them intentionally—because often, there's still plenty of usable thread beneath the outer wrap. And sometimes, those marks of time add just the right texture or truth to a stitched piece. It’s a glimpse into how thread lives, weathers, and survives. Note: You’ll receive a bundle in the cool neutral palette pictured—but your exact threads will be unique. There are three packs shown in the photo, each divided by the crease in the cloth. You will receive a pack with a similar quantity and variety of threads. Show more
