I love getting my hands on a new thread line. There’s nothing better than seeing how the colors vary from other thread lines . . . how they feel in your hand . . .cover a canvas . . .and what else I can get them to do once I deconstruct it. Yes . . .I am known for pulling apart threads and using them in ways other than the intended use. I’m a bad girl lol!
So, anyway . . .I had an idea a few months ago and approached Tracy, the owner of Planet Earth Fibers. And voila! She made the overdye Pepper Pot and Planet Earth Silk. Almost every overdye thread is strandable and a lot of people look at me like I have ten heads when I tell them they need to take the thread apart and put it back together. There are silk perle threads, but they are very slippery and difficult to work with.
Planet Earth will be expanding this line I just found out when I emailed Tracy and said “We need pinks in the line!” Check out the colors on their website. Lucious . . .just so yummy!
We have them in stock at The Enriched Stitch. Stop by and check them out or give us a shout if you want us to send you some.
