Breaking News: Scam Website

Zecca just posted this to Facebook's Needlepoint Nation:

"I just became aware of a scam website I think everyone should be aware of. It pretends to be an online seller of needlepoint with too good to be true prices. It is not real!!!!!! needleworkart.com
Do not give them any information. It is not a real shop."

I suggest folks not even click on the link.  Even looking at websites like this can be dangerous.  Thanks for the heads up, Zecca!

Threadaholic Alert: Bisous

Tilli Thomas' newest thread--a silk/wool blend called Bisous--is appearing in the shops.  

This Planet Earth thread is a thin, single strand of half Merino wool, half silk.  KC Needlepoint says it is thinner than Essentials.  It comes in 30 yard skeins and Planet Earth describes it as "suitable for 18 and 16 mesh."  Rittenhouse recommends 2 strands on 18 count and 3 on 13 count for full coverage.

You can see photos of the colors at this link.
