I've been doing a lot of embroidery lately so thought it'd be fun to arrange my threads into a rainbow :)
Hand woven with natural dyes in Williamsburg. All natural except the urine they use to add so the thread would retain it's color over time.
I crocheted this as a gift for my mom for Mother's Day. It's my first attempt at filet crochet. I found the free pattern here:

I would not necessarily recommend this as a first project, as the increases at the beginning are a bit difficult.
My son is a fly tier. Much of his bedroom is devoted to this pastime. Among his supplies are several dozen spools of thread in all shades of the rainbow.

No trip to Purl can go without at last one photo being taken. I'm not carrying my dslr around much these days but I make do.
This shows just some of my thread collection.
I recently won an embroidery competition and the prize was £100 worth of threads. Help.
In honor of Thread the Needle Day, why not make this sweet little spool to help thread your sewing needle? Make it on my blog!

This week's theme was: R is for Reel
I have a lot of reels of thread. Some I bought for various sewing projects, others were inherited from my mum and my cousin. Some are so old that the thread has deteriorated so I have to test its strength before using it.
1/8" acrylic used as the "thread" on the statue. The curl at the end was heated first, then wrapped over the painted sections and holds in place via friction with no adhesive
I actually don't use color thread too much anymore since all of my Gerbera things use black accents but it made for a pretty picture!
Actually, I want to attempt to sew a dress for summer. Never been good at sewing though. In fact, 9 times out of 10 the thread knots up and I need someone to bail me out by putting the thread right again... so might be a "bit" of a challenge!
I'm starting small though... tonight I made a sunglass case. Nice and rectangular :)
this dress was made 9 years ago for my youngest daughter ( who is in this picture) for her 1st birthday someone asked to see this so I am posting it now I also made the slip in this and the thread was a thrift store find to make the dress sorry I scanned this in and it looks like my scanner needs a cleaning
Just part of Jenny Beasley's thread collection which is all organised into these wonderful thread holders, made and designed by her friend Chris.
When I was taking out the garbage this afternoon, I noticed a BIG bag filled with thread next to the chute! Of course I had to take it with me! It was full of thread. Well over 100 spools. Mostly Coats & Clarks, and mostly on plastic spools so it can't be too old. I usually buy Gutterman, but I'm not about to turn away free thread!
