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 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 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 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. 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). We currently
only have the mapping for the floss colors.
