Threads

Jennifer Gail shaded threads, which can be re-ordered by name and number .

 Threads of different weights and fibre content are dyed to the same formula, meaning the same colours can be used in a piece of work giving a textured effect.

Interesting effects are shown as the fibres take the dye in varying ways giving a wider colour range.

 £1.75 a skein

DMC cotton perle no 5, plain and shaded @99p a skein.

Madeira carat braid 2mm and 4mm wide: a tubular braid which can be threaded with wool or wire to give a raised or manipulated 3D effect. £1.35 a card

Usually in stock I have gold and silver leather for metal thread work, together with imitation jap, plate, passing thread and the various purls needed for the work. All individually priced.

A beginner's pack with sufficient threads for your first exercise costs £4.50.
