Caron Impressions

Versatile hand-dyed fiber.

Lofty, flexible texture
36-yard skeins
1-ply 50% wool, 50% silk
Dyed in the U.S.A.

A 50% wool, 50% silk blend,  Impressions come in solid colors which coordinate with Soie Cristale silk, and hand-dyed colors which coordinate with Watercolours and Waterlilies.

The thread is about the same weight as Wildflowers (between a #8 and #12 pearl cotton), but has more loft. Control the look of your stitches to create either a sculptured or a satiny look simply by adding or subtracting one strand. The blend of wool and silk gives a unique appearance: the two fibers reflect light differently and give your stitching depth.

Dyed by hand in small batches, each skein is unique, and there may be some variation between dye lots.

Hand-wash only, and test with a small amount of thread before washing. Impressions threads are dyed using environmentally-friendly dyes and techniques. While most colors are practically permanent, some reds and dark colors may bleed slightly during washing. Test first!
