Today's history lesson is about Kreinik's braids and blending filament.

Do you remember the first time you saw Kreinik's metallic threads? I do. It was around 1987-88 when I saw gold braid, probably size 8, in Boston at the WEIU needlepoint shop on Boylston Street. It was a revelation as the only needlepoint thread I'd seen up to that time was Appleton crewel wool and Paternayan wool.

I know I have a Christmas cross stitch that uses blending filament that I stitched in 1986 or 7.
Looks beautiful, but so painful that I never did the companion piece.
