The History of Laine Saint-Pierre

Laine Saint-Pierre can be used for counted cross stitch and traditional embroidery alike. It was originally a darning wool for sweaters and socks, and it has retained this use, which is becoming popular again, a great way to give your clothes a second life.
You can discover the history behind this brand in Madame Sajou's Diary.

Using Laine Saint-Pierre for Embroidery and Darning

Laine Saint-Pierre gives a matt finish that is slightly more rustic than the shinier effect of our Retors du Nord embroidery floss.
Laine Saint-Pierre is presented in 4 separable strands. For general embroidery, you will only need to use two strands, as in our series of pattern charts dedicated to the Bayeux Tapestry. However, for petit point canvas work, you will use 4, or even 6 strands.
