This whitework Coton a Broder sample set features four different sizes of Coton a Broder in B5200 (brilliant white).

The set includes a skein each of sizes 16, 20, 25, and 30 (16 being the heaviest and 30 being the finest).

Coton a Broder is ideal for all manner of whitework embroidery, for monogramming especially with satin stitch and padded satin stitch, and for cutwork. It is excellent for ecclesiastical embroidery on linen.

With the sample let, you can experience embroidering with various weights of Coton a Broder so that you can choose which weight, or combination of weights, will work best for your projects.

This is the thread that Elisabetta Sforza uses in her book The ABC of Padded Stitch, reviewed here and available here.
