Since I've been talking about threads myself a lot lately, I thought I'd turn over the topic to Janet Perry who has several thread reviews on her website that you might be interested in. The first article talks about the new Candy colors from Kreinik.

Dinky-Dyes has new colors for their silk threads and ribbons. Because Dinky-Dyes is an Australian company and their threads perhaps not available in your local shop, the second link is to their website to do a little exploring.

Janet's final article is about ThreadworX threads and talks about their colorfastness and proper care if you plan to wash them or get your finished piece damp in blocking.

Dinky-dyes is one of my favourite silks to work with. They're beautiful and the price is quite good in comparison to other silks.
Dinky-Dyes is dyed in the US as well as Australia. US shops can order it from Jo directly - she lives in Texas. :-)
