    Cross stitch floss and fibers.

    We have just added the Color Variations from DMC in size 5 Pearl cotton floss to our store.  These are great floss for Hardanger, needle point and even some cross stitch.  The colors are variegated, so they change color as you sew.

    -Each skein of Color Variations is a combination of current DMC colors, allowing stitchers to coordinate Color Variations with DMC Cotton Embroidery Floss to crate beautiful designs with colors that compliment one another perfectly.

    -Color Variations is 100% Colorfast, Fade Resistant, and offers guaranteed Color Consistency from one skein to another.

    There are 36 colors to choose from.

  • New fabric colors in Linen

    Date: 2011.07.26 | Category: Cross Stitch Blog | Response: 0

    Two new fabrics came out this week in Linen.  One is 40 count and the other is 32 count in Provence Lavender.  They are both 100%  Linen.  It is difficult to find colorful colors in 40 count Linen, so this is a great addition to our Linen fabrics.   I keep the vast majority of my fabrics in stock. I have ordered the Provence Lavender and expect them to come in soon.

  • Needles by Piecemakers, Supperior Needles

    Date: 2011.07.17 | Category: Cross Stitch Blog | Response: 0

    Cross stitch needles and supplies.

    In search of a better needle, the Piecemakers folks decided to have them made to their own specifications. They claim clean eyes, easy to thread, sturdy and strong, and ‘go through fabric like a hot knife slides through butter.’ All have 12 cards per box.  Piecemakers believe their needles are superior to all other needles, and I have had several customers request them in the past.  I have found a supplier and have added them to my store.  Piecermakers tapestry needles.
