Sulky Thread Cotton Petites - 12wt Gray Khaki

Earthy, grounded, and effortlessly practical.
Gray Khaki is a muted green-grey with a soft military undertone - a beautifully balanced shade that sits comfortably between olive and stone.
It's subtle yet distinctive, making it ideal for projects where you want colour with restraint.
This tone pairs beautifully with natural linens, warm browns, denim, mustard, and neutral palettes.
It's particularly striking in modern farmhouse quilts and nature-inspired embroidery.
The 12wt weight creates bold, visible stitches that sit on top of your fabric with beautiful texture.
And because Sulky Cotton Petites is a single, non-divisible strand, there's no separating or twisting - just thread and stitch.

Machine Tips
Sulky 12wt can also be used for decorative machine stitching.
For best results:
"¢ Use a 90/14 Topstitch needle
"¢ Slightly increase your stitch length
"¢ Pair with 50wt cotton in the bobbin
"¢ Reduce top tension slightly if needed
This allows the thicker 12wt thread to flow smoothly and sit beautifully on the surface of your fabric.
