Welcome!
Hi I’m Tanja Berlin and I design hand embroidery kits for other embroidery enthusiasts to stitch. I also sell hand embroidery supplies, needlework threads such as goldwork / metal threads and needlework tools that I use myself so I can testify to their quality.
I continue to process orders during the Covid-19 Corona Virus outbreak – please read details which includes estimated arrival times for your order.
Wishing you a happy and safe 2021!
Tanja and the Fluffies.

Kit of the Month
The kit of the month for December is the Pendant Swirl kit. You do not need a special occasion to wear the pendant, I have received many a compliment wearing it to the grocery store and the post office.
Video Tutorials for the Pendant Swirl
There are 15 videos of the stitch process to make the pendant swirl which have very useful tips for sewing down felt, pearl purl and check purl which can be applied to other goldwork embroidery techniques.
Registration for the Acorn Woodpecker Online Class Open
Learn how to stitch the fine, realistic woodpecker embroidery. The online class is suitable for all levels of stitchers.
The online class runs from Friday 5th of February until Friday 30th of April. There is the option to receive all class information by email and provide your own fabric and threads if you are in a location where the mail is slow to receive.
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.
