Kit of the Month – Acorn Woodpecker Needle Painting Kit

The Acorn Woodpecker is a Level 1: Beginners of my Further Education kits in which you have the option of purchasing the 4 PDF files with colour work-in-progress pictures of the entire stitching process on my woodpecker that I provide when I run my on-line classes.

This Kit comes with a free downloadable PDF file with colour work-in-progress photos of the woodpecker but if you are looking to get a fully immersed learning experience to improve your stitching technique I suggest getting the kit and the 4 PDF files option which comes with many more photos and instructions: View Kit Details

New: Blackwork Valais Blacknose Sheep Kit

The Blackwork Valais Blacknose sheep design is an intermediate to advanced design in my blackwork art embroidery kits.

The mountains are advanced level of blackwork embroidery as there is a lot of compensation of the blackwork patterns and changing the density of the pattern and thickness of the thread.

The sheep and grass are intermediate level blackwork embroidery. You can choose to have the two sheep standing in the grass and rocks without the mountains in the background, this will reduce the number of hours that you will spend stitching the embroidery.

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.
