Handling Threads

 

You should work with a length of thread of no more than 18 inches.  Speciality threads like metallic, rayon & fuzzy should be shorter.

 

If you are working with a thread that comes in a skein, cut the skein into equal lengths.  Untwist the skein and cut the loop into two halves.  You should then have the perfect length to stitch with. 

 

Remember to save thread tags. If you need additional thread you can use the tags to match dye lot numbers. 

 

 

Things are definitely in bloom at The Village Ewe!  We continue to receive new canvases each day.  Come see us soon!

 

Some of our new canvases include elegant brick designs from JP Needlepoint, whimsical eyeglass cases from j. child, holiday ornaments from Rebecca Wood and new golf belts from several designers.

 

   

 

We also have received a large selection of canvases for the self-finishing gift boxes.  These boxes are great gifts for teachers and graduates.

 

Please check our class schedule below.  Spring is a popular time for our classes and they fill up quickly.
