A New Style Thimble from Clover UPDATED

Shannan at Bobbin and Fred has done a thimble review about several styles of thimbles. I don't often use thimbles in needlepoint but if you do or you want to try using one, they aren't very expensive.  They also make hand sewing much easier.  I do use them when finishing ornaments.
https://www.sewingwithbobbinandfred.co.uk/2019/04/thimble-review-and-diy-needlepoint.html

Because Shannan's in the UK, I did a search to see if the open-sided thimble is available in the US.  It is.  Remember, it comes in two sizes only.

UPDATE:  SL says these are not actually new.  She's seen them around for quite a while here in the USA so anyone interested ought to be able to find them fairly easily.

Iman and the Teddy Bear Canvas

Thanks to Judith, I discovered this profile of Iman online.  Too bad her publicist thinks she shouldn't be photographed stitching.  We've come a long way but we have much further to go in just being ourselves, no matter who we are.

Tulip Needles UPDATED

Mary Corbet has been using Tulip's Hiroshima needles from Japan and finally wrote up a review of them.  Mary's review is mixed and perhaps not totally pertinent to us as she is stitching on fabrics, not needlepoint canvas.  If you have hand pain, though, it might be worth trying, particularly if you can get friends to go in on a purchase of a box you can share to test.

If you want some to try, Nimble Needle in Atlanta carries them.

So does Bedecked and Beadazzled in Maryland although they are not on the shop website.

UPDATE:  Needlepoint.com has added a review of Tulip needles to their website.
