We have just received the full range of THE GENTLE ART - SAMPLER THREADS in the Masterton shop and are expecting them in the Kilbirnie shop in the next few weeks. This is a six strand cotton overdyed embroidery floss. If you have a copy of this years Just Cross Stitch Christmas magazine, a number of the projects use the Sampler Threads. Here's what the Gentle Art people say about their Sampler Threads:-
"Our vision is embodied in each of our colours. They are subtly shaded, each skein containing many colours blended with care to provide incredible visual richness. Ours is a hand made craft which looks to the heritage of the past and beautifully passes that along to the future through an aged palette inspired by our natural world."
"Our threads are exciting and fun to stitch with, and give your needlework a faded antiqued look. Your needlework projects stitched with Sampler Threads will never be a carbon copy of everyone elses because each skein is unique in itself."
Follow this Link to take a look at Gentle Art colour pallettes.
Normally $6.25 each we can put together gift packs for you, a selection of 10 threads for $55.00
