Why this linen thread is loved in embroidery and creative sewing

The Roselló linen thread stands out for its slightly irregular appearance, typical of linen, which results in a finish with personality: softly textured stitches, a traditional-looking finish, and a very warm visual effect.

Maite believes it works especially well when the project calls for a vintage or "handmade" touch, for example in scallops, decorative details, or edgings where the thread is visible and part of the design.

Recommended uses for 100% Linen Thread Nº12

This 100% linen thread adapts wonderfully to techniques where texture adds value:

• Hand embroidery: decorative stitches with a rustic and natural finish.
• Scallop stitching in patchwork: visible edgings with a handmade feel.
• Quilting (by hand): to achieve a vintage effect and authentic look.
• Creative sewing and crafts: details in textile accessories, decorations, and DIY projects.
• Scrapbooking and mixed media projects: adds an original touch by combining it with natural materials.

Usage tips so linen behaves as expected

Linen has a special beauty, but also its “temperament.” That’s why, in the shop, they always recommend a very specific way of working.

Carla's recommendation for embroidery

1. Use short strands: linen can fray if you work with very long pieces.
2. Gentle and constant tension: so the stitch lies nicely without forcing the fiber.
3. Ideal for hand embroidery: where friction and thread path are better controlled.

For sewing machine

Not recommended for machine use: the natural irregularities of linen can cause problems with needle passage and tension, especially if you’re looking for a very uniform stitch.
