I love using the Sulky thread Blendables in 12 wt. for my Big Stitch projects because I want the stitching to become part of the overall design. Blendables are threads that change color every 2-5 inches. They are long staple 100% cotton threads.
This link will show you the colors available in the 330yd spools. I particularly like jewel tones #713-4109, peacock plume #713-4016, Fiesta #713-4041, Tropical #713-4043, and Primaries #713-4106 for your project.
