Chicken Scratch Embroidery, also known as gingham embroidery, is a charming hand-stitching technique that transforms simple gingham fabric into lace-like motifs using just a few basic stitches. Renowned craft author Carolyn Forster celebrates this timeless art form with a beautifully curated 10-spool Aurifil thread set, featuring 100% Cotton 6-strand Floss. The carefully selected palette works harmoniously across multi-color projects and pairs effortlessly with both classic and contemporary gingham prints—offering makers endless possibilities for delicate, decorative stitching.

Aurifil’s 6-strand 100% Cotton floss is wound on a gorgeous wooden spool, perfect for easy travel and the prevention of pesky tangles! It is available in all 270 of our Cotton colors and boasts 18 yards per spool. We find Aurifloss to be excellent for Cross Stitch, Huck Embroidery, Miniature Punch-Needle Embroidery, Tatting, Needle Point, Crochet, Applique, Big Stitch Quilting, Accent stitching on garments and other items, and hand embroidery.
