Eterna silk (www.eternasilk.com has a list of stockists). Comes in both minitwist (like cotton floss) and stranded (more like filament silk). Splendor silk from Rainbow Gallery (available from Nordic Needle, among others). www.rainbowgallery.com; www.nordicneedle.com Needlepoint Inc Silk is available from many online sources. (no web access atm, so I can't go hunting right now.) Kreinik (www.kreinik.com) makes silk embroidery thread in a number of weights and textures. (JoAnn's often has Kreinik sampler packs with five or six colors.) Most 'craft' stores (JoAnn's, Michael's, HobbyLobby, etc) will not have much silk thread in stock. A well stocked needlework store will probably have at least one variety of silk thread. Some quilting stores carry silk embroidery floss as well. nayy jenn -- Jenn Ridley : WIP: Art Stitch Rose Trio, Emperor's Coat, Carousel, Romance Most recently Finished: Halloween Circle, Always be a Wildflower, FrankenFlora |
