Tapestry, cross-stitch & embroidery threads

Welcome to the Tapestry Threads section at Tissushop, your source for a rich selection of yarns dedicated to tapestry, cross-stitch, hand embroidery, weaving and needle work. Whether you’re creating wall-hanging canvases, decorative embroidery, textile art or DIY craft projects, our thread collection offers the quality, variety, and colors you need to bring your ideas to life.
In this category, you’ll find threads designed specifically for tapestry and canvas work, suitable for a wide range of fabrics and techniques. Classic threads such as the DMC Retors Mat are strong, matte cotton yarns that won’t fluff, making them a favorite for half-stitch needlepoint and tapestry work. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}
We also offer more textured choices like tapestry wool, prized for its softness and rich coverage on canvas for decorative pieces such as wall art, cushions and framed textiles. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13} For projects requiring a glossy or dimensional effect, perle cotton threads add subtle sheen and depth while remaining easy to work with. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
Your creativity can flourish with yarns suitable for various textile styles—from counted cross-stitch to traditional embroidery, hardanger, weaving on canvas, raised motifs and contemporary decorative works.
Each thread is available in multiple colors and formats (skeins, hanks) to suit your preferences and project needs. Cotton threads are perfect for detailed patterns, while wool and thicker yarns are great for larger coverage and texture.
Our tapestry thread collection is designed for beginners and experienced stitchers alike. Many threads are colorfast and durable, maintaining their brilliance and strength even after repeated use and gentle washing. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
