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, Soie Cristale or Needlepoint Inc. Silk is an experience we know you'll enjoy.

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, Soie Surfine, Fine Aubusson Wool & Silk Trame.

Our spooled threads include Trebizond, Bijoux, & Accentuate which 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.
