Bestex is a popular embroidery floss designed for cross-stitch and surface embroidery (satin stitch). The complete Bestex floss color chart features exactly 400 shades, including 358 solid colors, 40 variegated (melange) colors, and 2 metallic threads.
These threads have a beautiful matte finish, vibrant colors, and a well-defined structure that lays smoothly while stitching. Bestex embroidery threads are colorfast and do not shrink when washed. Manufactured in China, this floss is highly affordable and is notably featured in the well-known “Chudesnaya Igla” (Magic Needle) cross-stitch kits.
Interestingly, the Bestex color palette is quite similar to the Gamma floss chart—in fact, some of their thread catalog numbers even match perfectly. Below, you can view and save the Bestex color chart pages individually, or download the entire archive using the link at the bottom.
