Au ver a Soie metallic braid

[Serinde]

Does anyone know if this is still available in the UK? All I can seem to find is Kreinik or Balger, which used to be AvS, but isn't any longer. I'm searching for #16 metallic braid to experiment doing plaited braid stitch, as one does!

Hi Serinde. I did a Google search and this website came up. http://www.silk-thread.com/" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank

You'll see a link to metallic threads on their home page.

There's also this sight but it's in America called Needle in a Haystack http://search.cartserver.com/search/sea ... orm+Search" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank

i couldn't find a british site.

Good luck.

Oh definitly. You can't possibly have one without the other.

After all, Christmas stitching is (almost) upon us, isn't it.

[Cecilia]

Quite so! Christmas without a bit of bling just isn't Christmas.
