Blame It on Prince Harry

I don't stitch with metal threads much although I have a limited amount of Gilt Sylke Twist I have put away for a special project and there's a small stash of bullion and perle just waiting for another day in my stash. I have heard that it's hard to get Gilt Sylke Twist right now, though.  Tricia Nguyen (who imports Gilt Sylke Twist and colored twist and other English threads from their manufacturers) explains why.

By now you've seen photos of the Royal Wedding and probably know exactly to blame—Prince Harry and the wedding party!  Better stock up after the wedding rush is over.

Here's Tricia's website…

Plus here is Needle in a Haystack's.

All these online shops have wonderful threads for your stitching pleasure, not just metallics.
