Breaking News: Anchor Tapestry Wool Discontinued

Breaking News!  Jolly Red says that Anchor tapestry wool is being discontinued!

This is a bigger deal for UK companies that use tapestry wool from Anchor for their kits, but Jolly Red will use up their stock of Anchor tapestry wool, then switch to Appleton wool (which I prefer, but I know this is a personal choice).

I've not been able to confirm this news anywhere (Anchor doesn't appear to have a website) but I don't doubt that Jolly Red knows what they are talking about.  If you love Anchor's tapestry wool, good luck grabbing what you can now!

As far as I can find out, Anchor cotton floss is not being discontinued.

By the way, Kreinik has a new glow-in-the-dark section about these threads they sell on their website.  This gives tips on use, how others make them glow (or glow longer), and explains why these threads often have a green cast.
