These thread bundles are a great way to collect colors and save money!
This year, I joined a pattern club where we get surprise patterns on preprinted fabric plus a surprise color of sashiko thread chosen to go with the pattern and fabric. The trouble is, I have strong feelings about color, and I haven't always like the thread colors I received. I wanted to get myself some options, and this thread set is a great way to do that while also saving a little bit of money. All the colors are lovely and exactly what I expected them to be based on the picture. As a plus, they are a real joy to sew with, especially if you up your stitching game with some thread conditioner.
