I am doing a pattern that calls for hand embroidering some letters with
3-strands of black hand embroidery thread. Well I don't have any black or other very dark colors of hand embroidery thread. I do have some 12wt and 30 wt Sulky dark blue & dark purple cotton threads. I also have some very dark brown Mettler 60wt silk finish cotton machine embroidery thread. As I detest the idea of a hour & half drive to pick up some rather inexpensive thread, I'm wondering whether any of those can be used (individually or in combination) instead of the 3-strands of black hand embroidery thread?Or is this a bad idea?
Thanks,
