Rayons & satins swap

Post by Mabel Figworthy »

Having stitched Laura's coaster with rayns and satins I was once again reminded that i really don't like stitching with them much :-), and as I am at the moment building up my hand-dyed cotton stash and rapidly running out of space for bobbin boxes, I thought I'd put these up for swaps.

I'm willing to swap the whole lot, or in parts, just let me know which ones you're interested in. They come on reasonably neat bobbins (it is VERY difficult to wind rayons neatly!), and although most of them have been used it would only be one or two lengths. The exception are the purples, which I used for Isobel's name plate, so a bit more of those has been used. The light blue rayon and light grey rayon, the pinks, the golden yellow and one of the greens I think haven't been used at all.

On the left are two Anchor Marlitt rayons (numbers unknown), the middle lot are DMC satins (I can give the colour numbers if you like) and the right-hand collection are DMC rayons.

I'd like to swap preferably for Gentle Art threads, but make me an offer :-)!

I have some Carries Creations threads that I'd be happy to trade for some of these, if they'd be any good to you? I've got five of them; Hearts On Fire, Garden Green, Baja Blue, Orchid and Lemon Zip. I always forget I've got them, I think I'd get more use out of rayons!

I've just been given (well, will be given in about a month) about 90 Carrie's Threads for my birthday by an aunt, so I'm well stocked on those -- if no-one else wants the whole set, however, I'm happy to have a few spares :-). Which colours would you be interested in?

If you do not have any joy with a swap I would be willing to buy them off you.

Mabel will be very pleased to hear that the threads have at last arrived. Normally post between UK and Spain is quite quick but on this occasion it was very tardy and took from 19 March until 15 April to get here.

The threads are gorgeous. Thanks Mabel.
