Appletons wool is unique, not just for its color range, consistency and vibrancy but for its heritage; it is British from sheep to needle and only leaves shores once en route to its final destination.
Available in over 420 colors and two weights it can be used in needlepoint, tapestry, embroidery, weaving (in fact, almost any creative work) and comes in either hanks, for those who need larger amounts of the same color, and skeins which are smaller, labeled for convenience and perfect for projects needing smaller amounts of different wools.
