I have talked about thread twist before in previous Wihte Threads FlossTube videos. Today I revisit it.

In this video I show you how to remove slubs from linen thread so that it doesn’t catch every time you pull it through your fabric. Linen thread is commonly used in Frisian whitework, and early-style Hardanger embroidery. I also let you know of a “Frisian Whitework” Dutch speakers FB group. If you’re a Dutch […] White Threads FlossTube is one year old today! WOWEE! I can’t quite believe that we’ve made it this far. I started it right at the beginning of the whole pandemic thing, when people were going into lockdown, as I thought that giving them something to entertain, inform and look forward to might be helpful. Thanks […] In this White Threads FlossTube video I show you two examples of Hardanger with a sheer overlay. One is an evening bag, and the other is an unfinished project which helps to show and explain how the work is done. I encourage readers to pre-order/purchase my book “Frisian Whitework” from a small business (such […] Today I explore fabrics for counted thread work. I show samples of aida cloth, so-called Hardanger fabric, so-called evenweave fabric, and linen fabric.

The idea for this came from a friend’s Facebook post, where he wrote about five books that have changed his life. Now, he’s a theologian, so his selection is likely rather different to mine, with most of mine […] I was in contact with Dovo in Germany yesterday to place an order, and learned some sad news. Earlier this year, Dovo was having some difficulty and they were restructured. I learned yesterday that the shaving equipment part of the business was sold, but the scissors part was not. They have ceased production of their […] In this episode of White Threads FlossTube, Yvette talks about linen thread – what she uses it for and what its advantages are. She shows some examples worked in linen thread, and explains the different thicknesses available. If you are reading this in an email, the video can be found at https://youtu.be/EoVTR6c2mug Episode notes: […] In today’s episode of White Threads FlossTube Yvette shows you some of the Christmas decorations she has patterns for. In these times of isolation and lockdown, getting started on Christmas stitching can be a great idea, whether for gifts or for decorating. She shows 8 different blackwork ornaments and 2 Hardanger ornaments. The patterns are […] I realise that many of you buy my books online or order them from your favourite needlework store, having never really seen what’s inside them, unless you’ve seen a friend’s copy. That’s quite a leap of faith! Today I’m going to give you a flick-through preview of all my books, so that you can see […] |
