Weeks Dye Works 1227a Turmeric is a hand-dyed six-strand cotton embroidery floss designed to bring rich, nuanced color to cross stitch and needlework. The natural-looking tonal changes produced by the dyeing process create depth without requiring multiple thread colors. It is an excellent choice for samplers, florals, seasonal stitching, primitive designs, and other projects that benefit from warm handcrafted variation.
