Breaking News: Kreinik Cards Versus Kreinik Spools

Kreinik says that Kreinik metallic wound on Rainbow Gallery cards is quicker to get, so ask your shop to order Kreinik Cards from Rainbow Gallery or Wichert Imports.  If you prefer spools, ask your local shop to order Kreinik Spools from Fleur de Paris.

Single Strand versus Pliable Threads

Needlepoint.com's latest video talks about the differences between single strand and pliable threads.

It's useful information for the newer stitcher who is just starting to explore all the available threads, but Needlepoint.com's Cheat Sheet that lists how many strands/plies should typically be used is something everyone will refer to now and again.

Note that the number of strands/plies is just a suggestion.  If you have exceptionally tight or loose stitching tension you will need more or less thread.  The stitch and effect you are going for matters, too.  Still, the cheat sheet is a good starting point.
