Gumnut Yarns Buds silk threads as used in my Frisian Whitework Silk Sampler. I’m thrilled to be posting this today, because I never expected to be able to. Gumnut Yarns Buds silk threads are BACK (in limited colours and availability, but the ones I want are)! And that means, so are our Frisian […] This week, after an exceptionally LOONNNGGGG wait, I have finally received new stock of the Premax ringlock scissors which are my choice of scissors now that we can no longer get Dovo Hardanger scissors. I find cutting with these scissors like cutting butter. They feel LOVELY in hand. I used these scissors while working […] One of my most favourite products that I sell (apart from my books!) are the Klass and Gessmann embroidery hoops with stands. They’re among my most favourite products because they’re some of the most useful. Occasionally someone will ask me if I have replacement screws for the hinge part of the interchangeable hoops, […] When I was working the samples for my book Hardanger Filling Stitches, I found that a tiny little hoop was really useful for working filling stitches with diagonals, such as the Wheel Stitch shown.

There are some that are small, some that are mid price and some that are bigger ticket items. Hopefully there is something for everyone, and for all budgets, to inspire creativity and learn something new. If you are […] In this video, I let you know of a vacancy that has opened up in my in-person Frisian Whitework workshop here in Walcha in late November. Following on from the last video, I show some photos that readers and viewers have sent to me of their adapted versions of my designs. I also take you […] Today on White Threads Floss Tube I tell you about five books that have changed my life. 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 […] In today’s episode of White Threads FlossTube, Yvette gives 7 tips for choosing the best embroidery scissors, particularly for cutwork embroidery such as Hardanger, Portuguese whitework, reticella, richelieu, hebedo and Frisian whitework. Yvette apologises for all the banging noises in the background. The next door neighbours were having their roof tiles replaced! If you […] |
