Metal Threads for Hand Embroidery
I supply a wide range of hand embroidery metal threads for goldwork embroidery in gold, silver and copper: Bullions, Check Thread, Flatworm, Gimp Cords, Grecian Twist, Jaceron, Japanese Threads, Licerine, Lurex, Milliary Wire, Passing Threads, Pearl Purl, Plate, Purl Threads, Rococco, Spangles, Tambour, Twisted Threads.
I am discontinuing Gold 2% WM Metal threads as the cost of the wire to make the threads has gone up by 40%. If you are a fan of the gold 2% threads I have threads available but once sold I will not be bringing in the threads again.
The gold 2% threads have 2% gold in the plating where as the gilt threads have 0.5% gold in the plating so the gold 2% threads tend to be a darker gold in appearance.
What my customers say about my kits
“I have wanted to do the fox for some time and found him to be one of my most enjoyable pieces to stitch”
Embroidered by Beryl Burnett in MB, Canada
“There are some really unique thought processes you went through to figure out how to stitch him and have him look so real yet give him such character”
Embroidered by Cris Tilliss in CO, USA
“This was the first I did of Tanja’s patterns. It was amazing to see how blackwork gets without outlines. The explanations were very good and easy to follow.”
Embroidered by Sara Skaervik in Norway
“I loved working this bluebird and blossoms needlework kit. Since this was only my second needle painting project, the thorough and easy to follow instructions were a big help”
Embroidered by Stacey Tucker
“As a first time at Needle Painting, this took me a while to complete – but worth every stitch.”

Embroidered by Gertrude Myers in PA, USA

Embroidered by Margaret Cobleigh in CA, USA
