Now, something has come into the shop which is an answer from the Gods - the DMC Gold range which is the newest and certainly the most clever idea from DMC this year - this idea simplifies how you store your DMC threads. Use either a storage box or folder with plastic sleeve inserts. The floss is held by a plastic "bow" so there is no need to undo your floss and the number is held on the side of the box for quick and accurate reference. Surely a woman thought of this idea!! No more silly bobbins and tangled floss! If you want to know more - call us for a free brochure and pattern. Prices for the bows are $2.40, plastic sleeves $2.55, folders are $14.70 and floss boxes $17.40. Please order now as we sell out as quickly as these come in the shop. If you are looking for an inexpensive and easy to post overseas, gift - then look no further than our MacKay & Gerrish Persian Woven Bookmark - these are rich and luxurious looking - a wonderful addition to a dolls house as a carpet - price $6.95.
