Three series, three rhythms

Seasons comes in three series that differ by how quickly the color changes. That rhythm of change is what makes each one suited to a different kind of stitching.

Seasons 5000

Changes color at even intervals about every 8 cm (3.1 in). With an easy-to-use color-change pitch, it is enjoyable for embroidery as well as creative thread play.

Seasons 8000

Colors change about every 30 cm (11.8 in). Ideal for large motifs and firm, full stitching. A rich variety of pinks and greens—colors often used to depict landscapes and scenery.

Seasons 9000

A series with short, random color-change pitches. Enjoy dynamic gradation even in small motifs. Vivid, memorable colors suited to accent and one-point stitching.

Seasons 5000 — Color-changing evenly every 8 cm — Difference in length of color change across the three Seasons series.

Seasons 8000 — Gentle color-gradation — Difference in length of color change across the three Seasons series.
