Threadaholic Alert: New Painters Thread Ribbon Floss Colors

Thanks to Homestead Needle Arts, I've learned that Painters Threads ribbon floss has four new colors:  Ivory, Ebony, Poinsettia and Holly (aka, white, black, red and green).

This is dyed Shimmer ribbon floss from YLI per Homestead.  Their other colors used to be in skeins.  I'm not sure if only the four new colors are on spools or if Painters Threads is starting to use spools for all their ribbon flosses.

If you aren't familiar with Painters Threads, you can see the range of what they offer in many types of thread in the same colors here.

Breaking News: YLI Shimmer Floss Discontinued

Stitchin Time in Louisville, Kentucky says YLI is being sold and the new owner is going to discontinue Shimmer ribbon floss.  I can't find any confirmation of this online except some shops are showing various Shimmer colors as "Discontinued."

Ribbon floss currently is available in plain rayon, metallic and Shimmer which is the plain rayon with a bit of metallic woven in.  It's a favorite of mine so luckily I have a nice little stash of my favorite colors.
