In the wake of the pandemic, crafting has emerged as a thriving community activity. With people confined to their homes, many discovered or rediscovered the joy of creative pursuits, finding solace and fulfillment in the art of crafting. For professional artists, the extended periods indoors offered uninterrupted time to delve deeper into their craft, while an increasing number of amateurs embraced crafting as a newfound passion. This surge in creative engagement has transformed homes into bustling workshops and online spaces into vibrant communities of makers and enthusiasts.
Either case, people were eager to get good quality material for their long-lasting DIY items. This is why the Japanese brand we're talking about today, COSMO thread, is gaining support from around the world.

What is COSMO Thread?
Cosmo embroidery thread is a product that delivers outstanding color, texture, and stitching comfort through the "skill of a master embroidery artist". The most popular one is the No.25 COSMO thread, which is made of Egyptian cotton. This is a top-grade cotton that carries the softness and sheen of silk.
COSMO No.25 embroidery thread" is a high-grade thread made of high-quality extra-long staple cotton and produced through many processes by skilled craftsmen.
In recent years, with highly keen designs by a new generation of writers and artists, and the creation of accessories other than embroidery, Lecein's products have become very popular among the handicraft community.
So to respond to the high demand, Lecien sells a complete lineup of 500 colors of this thread to satisfy more customers. Changing lightness and saturation to make gradations more delicate, and increasing vivid and nuanced colors that stimulate artistic sensibilities.
Special features of the Cosmo embroidery threads :
- The raw threads are carded yarns blended mainly with Egyptian extra-long staple cotton
- To achieve sufficient texture and volume, the yarn is processed with Kase dyeing and finished with mercerization
- In order to maintain the reproducibility of colors, automatic weighing is performed from test dyeing to the actual dyeing process to enhance the reproducibility
Kase Dyeing Process
A bundle of threads wrapped up together is called kase (skein). The skein is hung on a tube with holes, and dyeing is done by spraying dying liquid through the holes. It indeed is time-consuming and labor-intensive but ensures an evenly smooth and beautiful finish.
