Got this from
"Now a bit of unfortunate news: Gentle Art has again increased the price of their overdyed floss (Sampler Thread and Simply Shaker Threads) and we are unable to absorb this increase. We have not increased our price in several years (way before Hurricane Ivan) although our price has increased several times. As of Sept 1st, the new price is $3.25/skein (10 yards). Our current price is $2.95. If you want to go through your charts and order any colors at the old price, we will take your order through Friday, August 17th at 2pm. After Friday, we will sell any colors we have in stock at the old price but new special orders will be at the new price. I hate raising any prices but wanted you to have an opportunity to stock up if you want."
If you order from her, tell Kathy I sent you.
