KAUNI YARN ideas

 

This scarf is done using just one skein of yarn. The skein runs about 150 grams with the yardage running at around 660 yards. We have 14 color combinations from which to choose.

The ruffled shawl uses two skeins of yarn. Our yarn is $31 per skein.

Sweet FELT EMBOIRDERY KITS from the UK

I saw these and HAD to order them, display space available be damned! I figured when Corine got to work today, she could figure out where to put them.

These are little felt embroidery kits with all of the materials and instructions packed into a sweet little box. The felt is fine and pliable and all the sewing together is done by an overcast stitch which is so eacy. They are delicate so are not a suitable toy for children. 

Cut out the little pieces from the patterns and jump right in. Remind us to give you a #26 or 28 embroidery needle because they give you a clunky one. Each kit is $19. 

I started the little dancing mouse last night and am about 1/3 finished. I am enjoying it because it is totally different from the needlework media I usually indulge in.

NEW JESSICA LONG EMBROIDERY KITS

 

TRUNK SHOWS

We have two trunk shows in the shop for the month of August, but remember the adage about the early worm getting the worm.... If you want the best selection you come soon! The picture on the right represents about 99% of the Kirk and Bradley/Burnett canvases. As you can see, they are primarily smalls. If you love 13 count ornaments, come immediately because they only sent 7 of them! There are approximately 180 canvases represented here, so understand that you will need to thumb through the piles. These are all travel rounds and then lots of Christmas ornaments. 

All trunk show canvases are 20% off ! Not only that, but all Christmas items in the ENTIRE store are 20% off! Here is the small pile of the larger canvases that came in the show. Eleven of them are thirteen count. I will make life easy for you. Should you buy an 18 count canvas and it is visually difficult for you, you may buy a Mag-Eye to take home, also at 20% off.

The other trunk show here for the month are the variegated silk flosses from Treenway Silks. I have selected the 6 strand, 10 yard skeins for your delight. The two lines are the Montano collection and the 26 Roses collection. Judith Montano was a extremely popular designer about 20 years ago. She had a very popular book out with embroidery stitches for Victorian crazy quilting.

The 26 Roses line has extreme merit because at least 10% of all sales goes to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. As of a year ago, Treenway had contriubted over $22,000.

The 26 Roses name arose because the very young children with CF often pronounce the  name of the disease as 26 Roses. All of the threads in the line, including the silk ribbons from Treenway that we own and are hanging on this pegboard, are 20% off our retail prices.  Will I see you tomorrow?
