Supplies for surface embroidery

I'm so sorry to see them closing. They did have some really nice things and I took advantage of the sale and ordered a Meissen Blue Onion Crewel kit.

The only other place I can think of is one I had in my favorites called

. I have no idea what, if anything, they have now because I haven't visited the site for a long time, but you might want to check them out.Lucille

Threadneedle Street has things like Floche and Broder as well as non-even weave linens (Belgian, shadow, Schwalm).

in a Haystack has doctor's flannel and Australian Blanketing. places are probably even more useful than that if one knows what one is looking for. And I know that Denise at Threadneedle has often been able to get me things that she doesn't have listed on the site. Elizabeth

I was sorry also that Jenny June closed. It was at the top of my list of recommendations for high-quality, knowledgeable help (and supplies.)

I've been able to get some Schwalm materials and books from

also some unusual linen threads from After I've checked the sites I've bookmarked, I might be able to add a few more - but don't hold your breath. Unfortunately, we're losing too many needlework shops (local and specialty as well.)

Thanks to all who responded. I've checked them out and will update my links page, as well, post a message in my forum. You've all been great.

Can;t find better than this one for stumpwork

I've had some inquiries and I know of two locations (Berlin Embroidery and Lacis), but they certainly don't have a wide variety. Lacis in particular. Berlin Emb. is not in the U.S., either.

Does anyone have a clue where those of us interested in this genre might go? I'd like to add some links. I know that there are individual Brazilian embroidery stores, Vetty Creations sells Hardanger and Mountmellick (but still not located in U.S.).

Jane is awesome!

I was lucky enough to take a 2-day workshop from her quite a few years ago when she was in the US for EGA Seminar in California. Her work is even more amazing in person and she was quite fun and informative. Would love to take another class if I ever got the chance! And yes, I have her first 4 books - one is even autographed :)
