Sulky Thread Cotton Petites - 12wt - Dark Turquoise

Sulky Cotton Petites 12wt in Dark Turquoise is a rich, saturated shade that adds confident colour and beautiful stitch definition to handwork and decorative sewing projects.
Spun from premium long-staple Egyptian cotton, this thread delivers a smooth finish, soft sheen, and consistent stitch quality.
Unlike traditional embroidery floss, Cotton Petites is a single, non-divisible strand.
There’s no separating or tangling — simply thread your needle and start stitching.
The 12wt weight creates bold, visible stitches that sit proudly on the surface of your fabric, making it ideal for decorative techniques where texture matters.
Dark Turquoise brings depth and intensity to modern embroidery, statement quilting accents, and colour-rich appliqué.
