Need an online cross stitch store

kylou 17 years ago

Hi everyone

I haven't stitched for about 3 years. I found a kit at The Stitchery that I want to stitch for my niece called Father and Child. It's the more expensive one. I prefer to stitch on Jobelan instead of Aida but when I went to my local stitchery store, they were out of business! The kit has ecru Aida and I would like to stay in the same color range because it's monochromatic sepia color threads. Can anyone recommend an online source of Jobelan fabric with lots of color choices? I tried Nordic Needle but they only have about 4 or 5 choices. Any ideas?

Thanks!

28 ct but only 2 in 32 ct

Here are two links which I have used fairly recently. They give fast, reliable service. I have found both companies have very friendly owners who will chit-chat with you about the best color to use to match. Probably best to compare the color of the Aida to a DMC floss. That is always helpful, since photos don't always give a true shade.

I think these days they may specialize in hand-dyed stuff, but you can always email them. I used to belong to the fabric of the month club, and there was oodles of ordinary fabric. Gillian
