Kreinik's Help with Older Threads

With everyone stitching from older projects that have been in their stash a while, Kreinik is getting lots of questions about Balger braid.  They explain what you likely need if your instructions call for Balger braid and link to a list of discontinued colors.

Ever Heard of Balger Braid?

The whole time I've been buying threads I've found Balger Braid here and there in shops, in the same spools that Kreinik uses. I thought Balger was an early type of Kreinik metallic.   Turns out I was sort of right.  Here's the whole story, straight from Doug Kreinik, with an easy to remember way to know how to pronounce "Kreinik" to boot!

Since we are talking Kreinik, I thought you'd like to see the storage system Tisha worked out for her smaller Kreinik spools.
