Kreinik has just announced a new wired thread, Wired Facets. The original Facets looks a little like a string of beads and is perfect for those who like the look of a row of beads but don't want to actually have to deal with them.

This is what regular Facets look like. The photos really convey the beads effect. This is the unwired variety. The wired Facets will look the same except for the "bendability" factor. Is that a word? LOL

Kreinik already has Hot Wire, which is #16 braid with wire down the middle. This comes in a variety of colors. Here's information for comparison purposes.

DMC offers Memory Thread, which is wire wrapped with cotton floss. This is what it is like.

Three wired threads, three different effects. Isn't it good to be a stitcher these days?!

Like most fun things, I discovered by accident that the latest Needle Nook University class allows folks to ask questions via Skype by appointment. The dimensional letters are designed and the class taught by the incomparable David McCaskill. Looking at the design and reading the description, it occurred to me that this might be a great way for a beginner to stick their toes into the deeper waters of needlepoint fun. If you have someone in mind to take this class, talk to David first and discover whether this is indeed something they might enjoy.

Christmas in July--Reindeer Crossing
This custom Christmas piece is one of the funniest things I've seen this month! I hope Ridgewood posts photos of it once it is stitched and made up.
