All the Colors of Micro Ice Chenille

Kreinik's blog shows off what ThreadworX does with their Micro Ice Chenille—they dye it into the most wonderful colors!  With holiday decorating on our minds, how about picking up a skein of one of these and couching some fun color onto your current needlepoint canvas?

Overdyed Kreinik Size 16 Braid Now Available

I have great news for fans of overdyed Kreinik!  Colour Complements is now dyeing size 16 braid in some of their fun color combinations.
http://colourcomplements.com/2016/05/kreinik-16-braid.html 

ThreadworX has been the supplier for sizes 4, 8 and 12 overdyed Kreinik here in the United States, but if you want size 16 braid, Lorraine of Colour Complements is the place.   Since this is brand new, Lorraine's Etsy shop only has a multicolor pack available, but I think if you ask her nicely and be a little patient, you can arrange to have the color you want made just for you.

Here is the ThreadworX website.

Not Exactly New... UPDATED

...but these lovely things are new to me. Did you know The Needlepointer has a kits page on their website?  They all seem to be British kits with wool on larger count, perfect for a quick and relaxing stitch when you need a new pillow that will stand up to rowdy kids.  (By the way, they've added a specials section to their website.  Scroll down to the bottom to see the specials for August which happen to be Rebecca Wood Christmas stockings.)

For Medici and Needle Necessities fans, Needle in a Haystack has hanks of French wool, which is the overdyed Medici from Needle Necessities.  Their online catalogue has been updated to show the colors available.  They have some of the original overdyed Kreinik from NN available as well.

I started poking around Needle in a Haystack's website and discovered some new and unusual needle magnets from Embellishments Plus!  I'd never heard of them before but I sure like their cameo style magnets!  Plus, some come in two sizes so you can get smaller or larger of the style you prefer.

UPDATE:  Quail Run has these Embellishments Plus! magnets on order and has posted a chart that shows the designs and sizes.

UPDATE:  Absolutely Needlepoint has posted photographs of their latest painted canvases. Not all are new, but all are wonderful.
