We carry a huge selection of threads on our 87' wall covered with thread - we call it our "wall of thread".If we don't have the thread you are looking for we might be able to special order it. Some threads require a minimum purchase as many thread companies require us to order a minimum number of each color.

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 Florimell, 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, Florimell (hand-dyed Soie d'Alger), Duchess Silk, Tudor Silk, 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 can special order the satin ribbon used in some finishing instructions as well (we can order anything from Gloriana we don't have in stock).

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

Our spooled threads (including Trebizond, Bijoux, Accentuate and Valdani's hand-dyed Soie Perlee) 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. Given our inventory it's impossible to have every single thread or ribbon in stock all the time. These are the items we normally carry or can special order.

Purchasing Threads On-Line

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. You can also search for threads using the box below. Useful for when you're not sure who makes it or the name of the thread, but you have a color name or number.

If you're looking for an old Needle Necessities color try searching for NN and the color number (e.g. NN 100 for floss or SpringII 301 for SpringII). We currently only have the mapping for the floss and SpringII colors. You can visit the ThreadworX website for a complete color listing.
