Are you new to stitching? You're in the right place. Let's learn to split embroidery thread.
 
Embroidery thread or floss is made from six strands loosely spun together. You have a choice of how many you use in your piece; all six, and that's a really solid line, and less, equals finer approaches. It's up to you. Chop and change if you fancy. This is your authentic expression, relax and know you can't make a mistake.

Wondering if it's even worth the effort?

It is and you are. Treat yourself with kindness today and learn a new skill that could bring you joy and peace.
