The colours of embroidery yarn are so inspiring!!

I've loved them since I was a child, the colours, the shinyness, the way they feel, soft, inviting. I also use them for sewing. It's funny you say it forces you to find pleasure in handstiching 😂; I like it that that is what you experience. Maybe I'm too fond of handwork and therefore biased.
