We have so many wonderful customers who are thread collectors that we have decided to offer special prices for certain complete Thread Collector Palettes. A Thread Collector Palette contains one skein of each color in a product line with a savings of 10%. For example, if you have tried Eterna MiniTwist and discovered, as we did, that it is easy to use and truly enhances any needlework, you may wish you had "One of every color!" Well, now you can! Go to our Thread Collector Palette section (under Products by Type) and you will find our very special offers. We will add other thread lines from time to time. If you want a Thread Collector Palette in any line of thread, just send us an e-mail and we will try to make your dreams come true.

We stock the following items in our amazing inventory:

Anchor Threads, Appleton Wool, Brazilian Rayons, Caron Collection, DMC, Embellishments, Embroidery Supplies, Embroidery Ribbons, Eterna Silks, Floss, Flower Thread, Gentle Art, Gingher, Ginnie Thompson Flower Thread, Glissen Gloss, John James Needles, Kreinik Kits, Kreinik Metallics, Madeira, Marlitt, Medici Wool, Mill Hill, Needlepaints Threads, Needlepoint Supplies, Nymo Thread, Overdyed Threads, Diana Parkes Fibers, Pearl(Perle)Cottons, Quilting Needles, Rainbow Gallery, Rajmahal Art Silks, Rayon Threads, Alyce Schroth Silks, Silk Threads, Samplers, Scissors, Silk Threads, Silk & Ivory, Silk Mori and Milkpaints, Simply Shaker Threads, Soie Perlee, Spinster Corder, Tapestry Needles, Thread Gatherer Silk'n Ribbons, Thread Gatherer Silk'n Colors, Thread Gatherer Silken Pearl, Thread Heaven, Trebizond Silks, Variegated Threads, Weeks Dye Works, YLI silks. Plus many tools and accessories.

Most lines are fully stocked in all colors. There are a few new (to us) lines which have limited colors in current inventory, but for which we can order any color. These are clearly noted on the product pages.

Called "A Candy Store for Stitchers," we sometimes have to give new customers a chair when they first come in to our store - they are so overwhelmed by the quantity of threads we stock! Make an appointment and come see for yourself!

Please be sure to look at our Policies page. It tells you everything you'll need to know about shipping, ordering, security, privacy, customer service, insurance and just about everything else.

FINE FIBERS FOR FINE ARTISTS!

WONDERFUL THREADS FOR WONDERFUL STITCHERS!

May you find time for Peaceful Stitching!

Pretty Little Pincushions
Pretty Little Pincushions From ultra-feminine and vintage chic to whimsically colorful and downright oddball, these pincushions redefine the form. And that's sure to attract the many creative sewers and crafters who have chosen these small, charming canvases as the perfect vehicle to showcase fabulous fabric, simple embellishments, and novel ideas. Nearly 30 projects from a pool of talented designers provide plenty of inspiration, and there's information on materials and adornments, stuffing options, and what makes a successful, functional pincushion. All that's needed are beginning hand-sewing skills to stitch up such unique creations as tiny flowerpot and ladybug pincushions made from a bottle-cap base; a beehive complete with honey bee-topped pins; a selection of heirloom pincushions with vintage trim, lace, and buttons; or elegant silk fruit suited to a centerpiece as much as a sewing basket. Still others, like a tropical fish, a pair of cacti, or a crazy striped rooster, can double as plushy toys without the pins.
