Question!

Post by perftangel »

Where could I find Rainbow Gallery Wisper - snow white? It doesn't look like 123stitch carries it!!! Or what would you recommend for subbing it out? I really wanted to try out that fuzzy look!

I found that too, but I don't see where to purchase, unless I missed that part...?


Edit: I think I found it, abcstitch.com? Anyone used them before?

I haven't used them, but I'm curious what you're working on that will be fuzzy. It sounds fun, whatever it is.

Nordic Needle has white Wisper. Is that the same as snow white?

I haven't used abcstitch so I can't vouch for them, but I absolutely can vouch for Nordic Needle.

I agree with Allyn---Nordic Needle is good to buy from, ABCstitch is okay but they can be slow to send out

Thanks guys! NordicNeedle it is, unless my LNS has it in stock. I totally forgot about calling them because it's still a 45 min drive from me! :D

I always find it bizarre that 123stitch don't stock any Rainbow Gallery threads! They say it's because RG will only sell to brick and mortar stores which is ludicrous as all the shops I buy them from in the UK are online with no shop front :).

Is Rainbow Gallery Thread different than Rainbow Blending Thread by Glissen Gloss? 123Stitch has that. I haven't used Rainbow Gallery very much, though I have some that I bought when my LNS was going out of business and plan to use in some of my future pieces.

Glisten Gloss Rainbow thread is made by Madeira Carole - Rainbow Gallery make Petite Treasure Braid and all sorts of funky fibres! It seems silly to me that PTB is used by tons of stitchers but 123stitch don't stock it!

thanks Amanda! Seems silly to me too. I haven't purchased any from 123Stitch but will be careful next time I need some.
