My top ten Thread Brands

My top ten Thread Brands

My top ten thread brands…..

 

I have worked with many threads and yarns in my life so far on a professional level and in private. I came across threads and yarns  the went straight in the bin to thread that I started to appreciate and to collect.

This post is a work in progress and and it started in January when I started to think about threads that I love and threads that I stay away from! Today I want to share with you my top ten threads to work with. These brands, are perfect for lace makers, crochet lovers, knitters, tatting friends and so much more….

The main reason for  creating this top ten was to show people who love to create Romanian Point Lace that there are many brands that you can try out to create wonderful lace.

Drum rolls! Here they are!

A while ago I wrote a blog post on Valdani thread…

The pieces that I designed using Romanian Point Lace as a technique are ready. I made a set of earrings, using two threads as a combination.

These threads are amazing for lace making and specially for Romanian Point Lace and Embroidery.

 White Gum Wool ….Winter is Coming! 

Down Under we are in the middle of fall and it;s getting cozy cold…. Winter is Coming soon!

I received from White Gum Wool,  same gorgeous wool made in Tasmania, Australia. So if you ever wanted to knit, crochet or even lace make, arm knitting, and so much more…. this is a fantastic brand.

I worked with a fabulous rope yarn that was soft, fantastic to work into a scarf using the arm knitting technique and I had the pleasure to crochet using a free from crochet mixed with afghan crochet a snowflake flower motive.

I am so impressed with the wool, that I would like one of you to try the flame mini skein out!
