Ever wanted to work in a needlepoint store? Stitch Therapy is looking for two employees. Details are on their home page. This shop is small and in the Houston area but does a lot of mail order business.

Mary Corbet and Cosmo Variegated Cotton Floss UPDATED
Mary Corbet has written an article about cotton flosses that are color fast and it includes a short review of Cosmo variegated cotton floss from Japan.

I really like Cosmo's regular cotton floss. It has a huge range of colors so you can easily find 7-11 shades of anything almost. I am not as big a fan of their variegated because the colors don't really appeal to me but if you like the colors, this is a terrific cotton floss. It's more expensive than DMC but it's good stuff. Here's where I buy mine, at a local quilt shop that also carries Presencia's Finca perle cottons in size 8 and size 12.
