Thread dyeing, matched to your shade

Our dye house is part of our factory. Every order is dyed in-house, so your shade is matched where your thread is made, with no outside dyer in between.

How we dye

Thread is package dyed in our own dye house, then wound on sewing cones, ready for your line.

  • Ready-to-sew cones in your shade
  • Even colour from the first metre to the last
  • For PolyCore and spun polyester thread

Common questions

How do I send my shade?

Send a thread sample, a fabric swatch, or a shade code you already use, with your order on WhatsApp or by email. We match to that standard.

Can you dye to match my fabric?
