The "new" Paternayan wool colors from Saco River Dye House have been posted on the Threadneedle Street website. These are the colors available as of Feb. 2013; more colors are being introduced all the time.  To see the list of available colors as of last month, click on the "News" button in the header at Threadneedle Street's home page.  Right now black and white and red and mustard are available, plus quite a few shades of gray, blue, brown and green.  Stay tuned for more colors as Saco River gears up production.

Stitching and Bitching at NW East

Starting March 10th, Needlewoman East in Falls Church, Virginia is going to have a Stitch and Bitch session the second and fourth Sundays of the month from 1-5 p.m.  Sadly that is too far a drive for me to make it but I'll be there in spirit, bitching away with the best of 'em!  Call the shop at 703.241.0316 to reserve a space at the table.

After all, Woodlawn is the entire month of March and this might be a great stop before or after the show....

Pat, thanks for posting this on Facebook.

Real Color Cards

Kreinik reminds us that they offer real color cards, made with snippets of actual threads. These are wonderful. I have a set myself that probably needs updating but I use it quite a bit when I am trying to mail order threads.  Nothing beats seeing the real thing if you are doing mail order.
