Anchor Thread

Made from multiple strands of premium Egyptian cotton, Anchor thread is an adaptable embroidery thread that can be used to achieve ambitious and intricate designs. With 484 colours to choose from, our collection of Anchor embroidery thread is incredibly versatile, containing shades that lend themselves to any pattern or design you could possibly imagine. 

Each 8m-long skein of Anchor embroidery thread consists of six strands, which can be divided into smaller groups or individual threads depending on the design you have in mind. Whatever thickness you decide to work with, each bundle of Anchor thread features a ‘pull-free’ construction, so you can remove individual threads without disrupting the remaining skein. 

Every colour of Anchor thread has been double mercerised, giving the thread an unbeatable sheen and enhanced light reflection. Whether you are attempting more elaborate designs on your latest project or trying your hand at embroidery for the first time, Anchor thread provides an accessible sewing experience while producing gorgeous results on the machine.
