Hand dyed fine wools for stitching.

Deep Sea - acid dyed blue - 2ply - 25 yards - approx equivalent to No 10 cotton perle - 100% wool

 

I suggest using short lengths of wool threads to stitch with to minimise wear on the thread as it is continually pulled through the fabric. This is especially true of the singles threads; the plied ones are more wear-resistant.

Any of these skeins may leach a little dye. Please consider pre-soaking skeins in warm water to remove residual dye.

🪬I love making and packaging and finding quirky fabrics to incorporate in my kits. I’ve never lost my childhood delight in playing with scraps of paper and pencils, yarn and fabric.
BUT
I have a more recent love too, planning and leading textile tours in the UK and beyond. Whole new vistas have opened up for me and I don’t want to miss a thing!
SO
The Tart shop will close late summer. In the meantime I have new makes and interesting bundles to add to the shelves. Newsletter subscribers always know about these first and often snap up my limited edition goods before I have time to tell anyone else. 
PLEASE
Sign up so you don’t miss out! There are bargains to be had from now until late summer.
THEN 
I hope to have some time to be creative in other ways for quite a while.

I needed a very simple project yesterday. Picked some red mix random 4ply leftovers, held them double and cast on the simplest of hats. Just love how it’s turning out!
