Painter's Threads are truly works of art! 'Hand-Painted' in Germany using a 'secret' technique, each skein holds a beautiful melody of color. Painter's Threads are not dyed to repeat in a set pattern, instead, their beauty is how they are artistically accented and 'Painted', some with a spray of contrasting color which may only appear in very tiny spots. Because of their special dyeing technique, dye lots can differ greatly from the product photographed.
