Soft smooth plied wool/silk thread which works well on cotton and linen, and beautifully on wool. These shades are dip dyed shades or variegated shades and create interesting effects with the simplets of stitches.

The blend of Blue Faced Leicester wool and silk offers good coverage and a soft sheen to your stitches.

Length: 24 metres

Content: 55% BFL 45% Silk

Thickness: plied thread - about equivalent to using three out of the six plies of a standard embroidery floss

Reflecting on a rather lovely retreat and planning to soak up some sunshine in between minor chores. Nothing too taxing!

Early morning beauty - a bright and beautiful start to the first full day of the stitching retreat🤗🌞🪡
Organised✔️
Ahead of schedule ✔️
Van packed with food and textile treasure✔️

Time for a coffee fix and a wee game with Bruce🐾before I head off for the next few days. 

Hugely looking forward to bringing stitchy folks together at my retreat. 

Definitely planning another for next year so sign up to my newsletter to be first to hear about it in the autumn😉
This too is prep!
Making a version of falafel for my May stitching retreat that starts tomorrow🤗

I am trying out DMC Eco Vita wool threads on a piece of dyed blanket. No rules, just experimenting. I like the soft colour palette of these naturally dyed organic crewel wools which I found at @mybearpaw  a couple of weeks ago. I succumbed to lovely Japanese fabrics there too🤗
🩷💚💙💜
I don’t dye yarn no more, but I do dye thread…
These ones coming soon to the Tart’s emporium
