Orange, yellow, pink, and black embroidery thread. I expect to use this mostly for detail work on amigurumi and stuffed toys.
For the Wall of Thread, I considered pegboard, and then at the craft store got SCHOOLED by a longtime crafter. "Don't ruin your walls, honey. Try Cardboard," he croaked. So I shopped, and there it was: Foamcore Board. BRILLIANT! Pictured is one length of foam board (20X30inches, 1/4inch thick, bronze, $1.29 a sheet!). It's attached to the wall easy peasy with a quilter's straight pin (they're xtra long) every 6 inches. Pins for holding threads are in 2inch increments -- this section will hold 24 skeins wide (depending on how close set pins are) and 3 down. This is lightweight (and in other thicknesses if you use funky fiber or heavy yarn), comes in many colors, and is totally modular -- perfect! These babies can even go into a portfolio and, voila, when I teach I'm completely mobile! BAM!
I made this using a white silk yarn and some dmc cotton perle thread... it was an easy pattern but a lot of little pieces until it came together :o)
an Eatern Sedgefrog with a white thread of some descritpion attached. This chap and two of his mates I saved from a trip to the dump as part of a tree lopping program in my backyard at Rothwell, Queensland.
In honor of Thread the Needle Day, why not make this sweet little spool to help thread your sewing needle?
My art is all about thread these days, black thread is my color of choice. I use it frayed, tangled and knotted...the more the better for the allusive texture I am always seeking ..I was up before the house woke and managed a quick stitch sketch true to my heart. #14/61 #icad2019

Drosera filiformis is one of the many carnivorous plants that occur in the southeastern US. This is a close-up of one of the filamentous leaves that has glandular trichomes that secrete a sticky solution that acts as an insect trap. I used backlighting from the sun to get the starburst effect for the sticky blobs.

Sewing Threads
I love to see blocks of colours, jars or pencils together. I spotted this lovely display of coloured threads in the craft section of the Garden Centre this morning. It was almost perfect, apart from the fact that colour 656 had sold out.
My superstar work colleague Pav threaded my eyebrows for me today. It took 2 minutes and looks brilliant! She learnt how to do it from a relative who lived in India. It hurt... but it was worth it :)

i crocheted these shawls out of quilting thread a couple of years ago and then never got around to blocking them or listing them till a customer asked about them recently, so i pulled them out to take pictures. i'd forgotten just how many i made! :lol: i'll be blocking them all this weekend and then listing them on etsy soon. if you are interested in any before that my email addy is in my profile.
I guess spools isn't the right term, those are beach sticks. I shared my punch embroidery thread with my Niece who just took up crochet. She really likes making miniature bears, she seems to be a natural at it! I can't get specialty thread where I live, my stash has been collected from thrift stores. So we had a thread party. Me, my daughter and my Niece sat around the kitchen table and went to spinning www.sharonojala.com/2013/09/punch-embroidery-thread.html
assorted embroidery threads, scraps from cross stitch projects over the years... mostly 12-18 inches in length
