Because my forthcoming book, Hardanger Filling Stitches, is basically an exhaustive stitch dictionary, there is only one project in it. However, as there’s only one, I had to make it a good one! The Hardanger Filling Stitches sampler is a band sampler featuring as many Hardanger filling stitches as I could fit onto it! […] You may know that Hardanger mythbusting is one of my favourite subjects.

Previously it was all still in my […] In this episode of White Threads FlossTube, I let you know I’ll be out of the office for a bit, I remind you about my upcoming classes and I help you to figure out the answer to the most common question I get asked: “Can I use this thread with this fabric?” If you’re […] In this episode of White Threads FlossTube I have a tutorial on how to tea dye linen. I show two ways to do this – one with even colour across the fabric, and the other with deliberate blotchiness. Tea dyeing can be used to easily colour white linen, and to add an aged look to […] Today’s video from White Threads FlossTube is a tutorial from my upcoming online self-paced video course. The course is on the Frisian Whitework Silk Sampler, and the video tutorial shows how to work a square eyelet cluster.
