Needlepoint for Fun's latest adventure is a comparison of four new wool threads on the market. You'll learn about Vineyards Merino, Essentials, Glisten and Planet Earth Wool, especially their characteristics and what canvas count (13 or 18) and type of stitch they work well for.

As a bonus, a stitch guide is being written for the Steven Klein canvas used as a demonstration project. Your favorite shop can order the canvas from Julie Mar and Friends, or you can ask Needlepoint for Fun for the canvas when you get their guide.
As an aside since we are talking about wool, Painter's Thread now has a crewel wool on a machine embroidery spool. The second link below is their website with a good look at the colors available.
