The
 best quality 6
        stranded spun silk is used as a base product on which to create 
the wonderfully
        unique colours found in Dinky - Dyes.  The silk is manufactured 
to Dinky-Dyes own specifications in Asia.  Each stranded skein of silk 
is approximately 8m in length.
        Threads are suitable for all kinds of embroidery, cross stitch,
        needlepoint, hardanger and smocking where a unique and visual pleasing thread is
        required.
        As
        Dinky-Dyes are hand dyed, dye lots will vary.  Every effort is
        made to ensure consistency in floss colours but inevitably, there will
        be some subtle differences.  Be sure to purchase enough for your entire project to ensure the same dyelot.
