Other contenders

• Mettler POLY SHEEN PS8-Kit 8-Spool Set

  Mettler PS8-Kit is the smaller starting palette when its eight shades cover your project. It supplies the same 200 metres per spool, so choose by the colors you will use rather than count alone.⁴

• Mettler POLY SHEEN PS28-Kit 28-Spool Set

  Choose Mettler PS28-Kit for a middle-size polyester palette: 28 colors on 200-metre spools, with a shiny trilobal thread. Check the actual shade numbers against your designs.²³

For building your first thread stash

Choose Mettler PS28-Kit for a first polyester stash when its 28 shades match the designs you plan to stitch. If eight colors cover those designs, PS8-Kit starts with a smaller palette; both supply 200 metres per spool.²³⁴

For pieces that go through the wash

Choose Mettler PS8-Kit when its eight colors cover the design and the stitched item will be washed frequently. Its polyester thread carries the maker’s colorfastness statement for washing and chlorine bleach; the fabric and other components still determine the finished item’s care.⁴
