We have a lot of new design available for you all, we are now carrying threads, cottage garden threads these are beautiful hand dyed thread made in Australia and they are great to work with, these are all verigated and the verigation is very short so you are able to see your work happen immediately, the Presencia threads which are colour fast, so you can be confident that now you can stitch red on white and the colours won’t bleed, and last of all we have the multi works threads they are on a cotton reel already two threads so they are great for needle punch embroidery, and you can use them continuously,this make it so much easier you don’t have to keep stopping . We are also carring stabiliser, pelon because you all asked for it .
