Thread Talk UPDATED
Because I'm a threadaholic of the worst kind, I love reading about new threads and new colors. So here are some thread reviews and news from the Blog-o-sphere for my fellow thread lovers. First, here are the new colors of Merino Wool. I wish I knew the manufacturer of this line but I don't and Google failed me. Anyone know?

UPDATE: Looks like the Merino Wool that Ridgewood was talking about is from Vineyards Silk. Several manufacturers have a thread called Merino Wool and I wasn't sure which one it was.

Curious about the Chinese silk you see advertised on eBay? Mary Corbet talks about the skeins she got with a kit from the Suzhou Embroidery people.
