The long-staple cotton fibres provide a soft, smooth texture that resists pilling, while mercerization improves tensile strength so strands resist breakage during tensioned stitching. Colourfast dyeing minimizes bleeding or fading with gentle laundering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNatural, medium green tone ideal for foliage and accents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoft, smooth hand from long-staple cotton fibres.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eImproved durability through double mercerization.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for gentle washing when finished properly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many projects will twelve skeins cover and how do I estimate usage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach skein contains 8.7 yards (8 meters) of thread; twelve skeins total about 104.4 yards (96 meters).
