Greetings and a sunny welcome to our June 2023 newsletter.
In this month's letter we're talking about kits from Bothy Threads and Glorafilia, silks from Au Ver a Soie and even more pretty needle minders for your collection.
Kits
Bothy Threads' Spring 2023 collection has arrived in stock and we have chosen the three new Shoe Art kits, another Menagerie and more Wrendale and Country Estate designs for your stitching pleasure.
Bothy are moving away from transparent plastic wrapping for their kits to cardboard containers. Good news if you're sensitive about the use of plastics in packaging.
Permin have recently moved premises which caused a lot of delays to deliveries. It has all settled down now and they have even managed to produce a new catalogue, the second this year.
This pure silk floss from France is supplied in bobbins and is better suited to very fine fabric - 46 count or higher. It's available in 50 metre or 150 metre bobbins.
We can order other colours and Soie d'Alger (for less fine fabric) on request.
We have even found a place to keep them so that we can admire them ourselves while we're working!
And finally ...
If you've ever kept summer-blooming Dahlias then you'll know how fragile they can be over the frosty winter months. Our title is from a poem called Flower Gardener by Robert William Service, a popular British-Canadian poet (1874-1958):
«My dahlias are my pride today,
And many my creations be.
They're worth a fortune, people say,
But what does money mean to me?
Their glory is my rich reward,
And as their radiant heads they raise,
I dedicate them to the Lord,
With love and praise.»
Whatever your pride might be - topiary or tapestry, cultivation or cross-stitch - we wish you a warm, peaceful and productive summer!
