Remember my patching the rabbit geisha canvas? No? Then you will want to watch One Off Needlework fix what a puppy did to a cushion corner.

How to Read the Kreinik Labels
The Kreinik blog just posted a great little article on how to read the labels on their spools of metallic threads.

By the way, I didn't realize that Kreinik uses "pop top" spools. Pull up on the top section of one cap by sliding your fingernail along the seam and you can easily unroll the loose end of the thread. Push down on the cap to lock the thread into place between the two sections of the end cap. This is explained at the bottom of this page. Silly me--I had to be told that this is how it works!
