For all their wonderful range of bright colours, Dewhurt's also put our a fantastic array of subtle shades too, and often with the most delightful names, like this extremely pale shade of creamy yellow, which has been blessed with the delightful name of "Straw".
When it was my birthday six months ago, a very dear friend who enjoys photography as much as I do, and knows that I collect beautiful and vintage pieces, gave me a wonderful selection of antique ribbons, buttons, buckles, lace and other fine notions. She also gave me three follow up tins of similar delightful gifts for Christmas.
Those wonderful gifts are what has inspired me to create this series of "Embroider my World" images featuring my vintage bobbin collection. In this case, the wonderfully creamy vintage lace from the 1930s comes from my own collection of antique notions, as does the French wooden bobbin. The pretty crocheted daisies were amongst the gifts I was given at Christmas time, and they were made in Latvia. I have accessorised them on a 1930s embroidered tablecloth with a Dewhurst's Sylko Straw reel of cotton which dates from between 1938 and 1954.
Belle Vue Mill, commonly known as Dewhurst’s, was built by Thomas Dewhurst in 1828. It opened in 1829 as John Dewhurst & Sons and was one of Skipton’s largest spinning and weaving mills. The mill’s position next to the Leeds Liverpool Canal meant that raw cotton could be shipped in by boats from Liverpool. Finished goods would then be sent back the same way ready for distribution. Coal to power the machine’s steam engines was also delivered by barge. In 1897 Dewhurst’s was bought by the English Sewing Cotton Co. It continued to produce Sylko, one of the mill’s most famous products. It was produced in over 500 colours and sold throughout the world. Sylko cottons are still available at haberdashers today.

Happy Macro Monday!
Lexington Community Farm hosted a folk singer at sunset today, and this young cream Labrador was in attendance. I zoomed in on him from twenty feet away, as his parents enjoyed the music. I didn't get his name, though. Cream Labs are incredibly friendly, and I hope to see this one again.

This dahlia has the most blossoms of the two dozen plants at the farm. That's the alpaca barn behind it.
This is a small dahlia blossom from the garden at the farm. It's held by a Plamp, attached to my tripod; those are purple cleomes in the background. The image is a 35-frame focus stack.
