We carry a huge selection of threads and have our walls covered with thread - we call them our "walls of threads". We generally carry complete lines of all threads with the exception of Rainbow Gallery, of which we have a large assortment, but not every thread type in every color. For Rainbow Gallery if we don't have the color you need we can order it from the manufacturer and usually have it in a few days. Some threads require a minimum purchase as we have to order them in quantities of 6.

We can also obtain hanks in many threads so that if you need a larger quantity of a dye lot you don't have worry about mixing and matching. Looking at and touching a hank of Waterlilies, Soie d'Alger or Needlepoint Inc. Silk is an experience we know you'll enjoy.

Gloriana silk threads and ribbons are all hand-dyed silks. Types are12 ply silk floss, Silk Perle (Princess Perle and Princess Perle Petite), 100/3 (Luminesence) and Silk Ribbon (4mm, 7mm and 13mm). We also have the 9-strand 100% Australian wool - Lorikeet. It comes in the same lucious colors as the silk threads do and a single strand can be stitched over one on 28 count fabric.

We carry all the threads made by Au Ver A Soie for the needlework market: Soie d' Alger, Soie 100/3, Soie Goblein, Soie Perlee, Soie Ovale, and Soie de Paris.

Our spooled threads (including Trebizond, Bijoux and Accentuate) are housed in acrylic cabinets so you can find these threads much easier.

Below is a basic list of our threads. We routinely get new colors of the threads we carry so if you're looking for the latest color of a line, just contact us or check out the on-line thread catalog for up-to-date color listings.

We have an on-line thread catalog for most of the threads we carry and you can purchase them via this catalog. If a thread below (vs. the vendor name) is highlighted click on it to be taken to the catalog page for that thread. Prices are only listed in the on-line thread catalog.
