Strawberry Thief on Seren
Color name: Strawberry Thief

Seren is Storyteller Stitchery's 75% merino wool and 25% silk thread, hand-dyed in small batches in our studio in Arizona. Finer than Awen and similar in weight to Moonspun, Seren is designed specifically for the closer mesh of 18ct canvas and the detail work of surface embroidery. Because each skein is hand-dyed, colors have a natural depth and variation that commercial threads cannot produce, with subtle shifts within a single color that add dimension to finished stitching.

Seren is our recommended thread for needlepoint on 18ct canvas. One strand gives clean, precise coverage, and the silk content gives it a beautiful sheen while retaining the warmth and structure of merino wool, a combination that reads particularly well on detail-heavy designs and small ornament canvases. All of our 18ct needlepoint kits include Seren threads. Seren is 2-ply, cannot be separated, and is similar to a Perle cotton #8.

Seren also works beautifully for surface embroidery. If you are used to working with 6-stranded cotton floss, Seren is similar in weight to stitching with 3 strands at the same time.

10 yards per card.

Caring for Hand-Dyed Fibers

These threads are hand-dyed in small batches in our studio in Arizona.

Steam blocking is recommended for finished needlepoint and embroidery pieces — it relaxes the fibers and evens the stitches without exposing the thread to water.

Our dyes are professional-grade and mostly colorfast, but as with all hand-dyed fiber, we cannot guarantee 100% colorfastness. Please test before washing any finished piece by wetting a small sample and pressing it against a white cloth or paper towel.

Colors may vary slightly between dye batches. If you are stitching a large piece, we recommend purchasing all thread for that piece at once.
