A New Type of Bijoux UPDATED

Threadaholic Alert:  I've heard from Gay Ann Rogers that there is a new type of Bijoux that has a white core instead of the black one.  For those of you who haven't used this thin, strong metallic thread, here's what the regular Bijoux looks like.  The black core gives each color a black stripe.  The new Bijoux will have a white stripe instead, which will significantly change the look.

Another new thread is Gloriana's silk chenille.  I haven't seen this in person, either, but I can't wait.  I love Gloriana's colors so I know this will be on my To Buy list once it is available locally (and I get to a shop).

We are very lucky to be living in this golden age of threads.


UPDATE: I've found a photo of the four new colors of what apparently is called Bijoux Glints.

UPDATE #2:  Vicky DeAngelis has stitched with the white Bijoux and there are photos on her blog.

UPDATE #3:  Vicky shows us the spools of Bijoux, all four colors (white, two golds and silver).
