I'm taking a fabulous class which involves a lot of hand stitching and a wide variety of threads. Some people collect different threads like others collect fabric! The different displays of everyone's threads was beautiful for sure. For this shot, my camera was set at f1/8 and I focused on one spool of Perle Cotton, letting the others blend and meld together. cy365 335/365

A glass ampul containing virgin silk; an extremely fine ophthalmic suture material consisting of two to seven natural silk filaments bonded together by sericin, a natural adhesive. This ampul is dated 28-01-1964. The silk was held in the ampul to protect it from air and contaminants. To get to the silk, you had to snap of the neck of the ampul.
Mum brought 80 million serger thread cones for me. She claims to have picked only the colours she won't use out of her stash. Conveniently for me, they're some of my faves.
A thread-waisted wasp, Ammophila sp., feeding on nectar from snakeroot flowers in our back yard. Letting native "weeds" flower in your garden is a great way to attract pollinators. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA, September 7, 2022.
Shop floor of the factory in ItajaÃ, Santa Catarina that manufactures clothing for my son's growing beachwear business, Santacosta.
Rather warm this morning but slightly damp so for OK for exhaust. A revitalised 73156 approaches the A6 road bridge with the first train of the day.
I love embroidery threads. This is not a collage of my personal stash - I think I have more. Hopeless. June 29014
I got sick of having to look in boxes for my embroidery threads so I decided to re-vamp my postcard wall and have them on permanent display for easy selection.
a mere fraction of my threads...most are hidden away in a drawer of the card catalog.

Another lovely day, so you'd think I'd photograph something to show that, but here we have a quickly snapped reel of thread, crossed processed to give it some age and a Kim Klassen texture added.....I do like having a bit of a play :)
Correction, it was a nice day, but by 3pm it had turned grey again :(
This is also for #46 "Needle" of the 114 Pictures in 2014 Scavenger Hunt.
Short video tutorial on how to make a 7 wrap thread crochet bullion stitch.
I find that three things help me in making bullion stitches:
#1: I make sure the wraps are evenly side by side against my crochet hook, snuggled together.
#2: When I yarn over, I yarn over at least 1/2 inch away from the wraps and then I pull the thread through the wraps. (the extra thread that you skip winds up in the middle of the bullion stitch)
#3: I hold the wraps gently but firmly in place with my left hand as I pull the thread and crochet hook through the middle of the bullion stitch.
All from Saucylouise. She's in Japan, I think (APO address) so stuff takes a couple of weeks to arrive. It's not a problem at all, but just putting it out there for swap people.
The thread is Olympus Emmy Grande and it is freaking gorgeous. I would like a ton.
The book on the left is Small and Easy Crochet Patterns by Kazuko Ryokai (ISBN9784413009683). It's adorable, but there's not a heck of a lot to it.
The other one, though- whoah. Crochet Patterns Book Motifs Edgings 300 (ISBN9784529042338) is amazing. The motifs are gorgeous. It's just chart after chart after chart after chart. The motifs are also shown connected together with charts given for the connections. I love this book and will get more like this one.
.. of merino wool and silken steel...
.. of simple rows back and forth...
entwined
[Threads of delicate merino wool and silk wrapped steel in vintage gold, entwined to form patterns of texture, light and transparency.
Threads interconnecting as unstructured stitches come together to create a soft metallic wrap.
Threads pulled through loops in a hazy, simplistic ritual that has soothed and calmed the mind, body and soul.
Threads of luminous magic.]
Playing with that homeless SLR lens I found again. Makes decent macros when I turn it backwards and hold it in front of my camera.
The red and white ones caught on in the 1930s through the 1950s because a colorfast red thread was created, which didn't bleed in the wash. Funny, I had clothes that bled in the 60s and 70s.
Ammophila procera, with what looks like a walnut caterpillar (Datana integerrima). Her burrow was nearby, and I watched her place her prey into it.
