Weeks Dye Works 1312 Catmint is a hand-dyed six-strand cotton embroidery floss that offers soft tonal shifts for added dimension in stitching. The variegation brings a handcrafted feel to cross stitch, embroidery, samplers, and other needlework without complicating your thread palette. Catmint works especially well where gentle color movement and a naturally textured appearance are desired.
