Our collection includes caron watercolors thread, a fine 3-ply pima cotton available in over 230 hand-dyed colours, alongside caron wildflowers thread for soft, romantic shading, caron impressions thread for a slightly thicker, more textured stitch, and Waterlilies for luxurious silk and rayon coverage on larger design areas.
