In preparation for the shipment of my new book Early-Style Hardanger<\/a> arriving very soon, I have uploaded the supporting products to the website. Early-style Hardanger is traditionally and historically stitched with linen thread on linen fabric, with tapestry needles.<\/p>\n

\"Londonderry<\/a>We now stock white Londonderry linen thread<\/a>, as linen thread is used for stitching traditional Hardanger embroidery, rather than pearl thread which is often used for contemporary Hardanger. Londonderry linen thread is the thread that is specified in the book. While linen thread is traditionally used for Hardanger embroidery, it is also used in lacemaking and book-binding.<\/p>\n

The thread is available in 5 different sizes: 18\/3 (thickest), 30\/3, 50\/3, 80\/3, 100\/3 (thinnest). The thread is unwaxed. <\/p>\n

\"Edinburgh<\/a>We also stock Edinburgh linen<\/a>, which is a beautiful 36 count linen from Zweigart. As with their other linens, this one is 140cm wide. We sell it by the metre, in full width and half width, and also as fat quarters (approx 50 x 70cm) and fat eighths (approx 35 x 50cm).<\/p>\n

\"Tapestry<\/a>We have the appropriate needles: No 26 tapestry needles<\/a>. These particular needles have a good size eye for threading, but which is not too big for going through the fabric happily.<\/p>\n

\"2-75<\/a>When stitching on such fine fabric, you will need finely pointed scissors in order to cleanly cut the threads. We recommend and stock Premax scissors<\/a>. I always take my ones of these scissors to classes with me so that students can try them out. They often love them so much that they purchase their own pair!<\/p>\n

If you have any questions about these products, please don’t hesitate to ask. And if you haven’t yet ordered your copy of Early-Style Hardanger<\/a>, do so now, so that you’ll be among the first in the world to own your very own copy!\"Early-Style<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
