All these threads I have hand dyed with indigo

 

Cupro - A B C D

This recycled cotton is gentle as silk on the hands but strong, with the ply creating a plump rounded thread. Skeins are shades in pale, medium and dark as well as a dip dyed version.

Length: 25 metres   Content: 100% recycled cotton*

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

*Cupro is a type of rayon made by dissolving cotton cellulose with cuprammonium salts and spinning the resulting solution into filaments. The chemicals used are free of compounds toxic to health or the environment. Cupro is biodegradable.

Silk - E F

Smooth dip dyed silk in two weights - 

Fine E is approximately equivalent to No 10 cotton perle

Medium F is approximately equivalent to No 8 cotton perle

Length: 25 yards  Content: 100% silk

Linen Lace Thread - G H

These threads are rare vintage Swedish linen for lace making and are offered in two dip dyed options - Subtle G and Bold H

Thickness: like machine sewing thread

Length: 25 metres, in 50 pre-cut 0.5m lengths      Content: 100% linen

Hand Spun - J

This is the joker in the pack! A single ply thick and thin hand spun silk perfect for couching down in mixed media pieces or adding as a feature weft in a small tapestry.

Thickness: between 1mm and 4mm in diameter, approximately

Length: 20 yards      Content: 100% silk

indigo dyed cupro*****Posted by Maura T on April 9 2024 at 22:52Lindsay has some lovely threads-- I had never heard of cupro before , it is a really lovely stitching thread with a nice "feel" and also from recycled cotton! In view of its recycled history I will be using it along with textiles that are repurposed or recycled thrift shop finds . arrived quickly and as usual -- beautifully packaged - it felt like I was getting a surprise gift! lovely experience!

I cast on a basic raglan sweater with lots of subtle colour changes to keep me interested. This will just be a whenever project - a few rows now and again and no hurry. I am using the Latvian yarn I bought from @balticknitsscotland held with an anonymous bargain black 4ply bought from @kingcraig_fabrics in Dornoch.

🪬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!
