About Gentle Art Sampler Threads

What is GAST?

Gentle Art Sampler Threads (GAST) is a premium hand-dyed cotton floss made in the USA. Known for their soft, muted colorways that are perfect for samplers, primitive designs, and folk art cross stitch projects.

Sampler vs Simply Shaker

Gentle Art offers two thread lines: Sampler Threads are more variegated with a broader color range, while Simply Shaker threads are more muted with subtle mid-range tones. Both can be mixed freely in your projects.

Conversion Tips

  • GAST threads have subtle shading that DMC can't fully replicate
  • One GAST color may match 3-4 DMC shades
  • A comma means either DMC color works as a substitute
  • Blend multiple DMC strands for closer variegation effect
