Spend a day winding your threads onto bobbins while weaing white gloves, you will see just how filthy they are before you even start stitching. Think about it, they get made in a factory ( unless its a food or medical factory these places are not clean) then they get put onto stands in shops, these stands aren't covered to keep dust and dirt away, then you have the handling by the original factory staff, the packers, the shop owner/staff, the customer... most of these folk will not have scrupulously clean hands to begin with. So if it's a good colourfast thresd then wash your finished work, if it's hand dyed then carefully wash and rinse your threads before stitching :)
Also when ironing put a thick, folded fluffy towel under your work |
