\"Frostings<\/a>

Frostings Box<\/p><\/div>\n

\"First<\/a>

First View<\/p><\/div>\n

Tricia, at Thistle Threads, has launched the Frostings Club<\/a>, which is a thread club specifically concentrating on reconstructions of historic thread. She explains on the page I’ve linked to why she did so, and although historic embroidery isn’t my primary focus, thread is one of my deepest interests. So I joined up for the first session, partly because I want to contribute to the project, and partly because I expect that I will find a whole host of non-historical uses for them.<\/p>\n

\"Lacet<\/a>

Lacet Threads<\/p><\/div>\n

My first box has arrived – after a frustrating hold-up in Heathrow when I knew it was in the country and it wasn’t getting any closer to me! – beautifully packaged in a very solid cardboard box with a magnetic closure. I’ve been having a lovely rummage, puzzling over what I find and thinking about what I might choose to do with it when I get the chance…<\/p>\n

I’m not at all sure what Lacet threads are, or what I might do with them, but Tricia has promised to release some designs and suggestions, so if I can’t think of something for myself, there will be suggestions a-plenty.<\/p>\n

\"Cordon<\/a>

Cordon And Gimp<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Metallic<\/a>

Metallic And Metal<\/p><\/div>\n

The Cordon, Gimp and Metal and Metallic threads are possibly a little easier for me to make plans for. The metallic threads have fortuitously turned up in colours I was thinking of using for the wings of the Christmas Angel<\/a>, so I may have in immediate use there.<\/p>\n

But then again, once the Angel’s cape is in place, I may change my mind and who knows what will happen…?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
