kreinik metallic

Post by sami51311 »

I went to Walmart today to see if I could find their Christmas gift thread collection. They did not carry any metallic theads! Does anyone know where in my area I might find kreinik threads or the cheapest place online? I live in Lake Wales, FL. Please Help!

Nordic Needle, Herrschners are two of the sites I go to when 123Stitch doesn't have what I am looking for. If no one has the exact color you need, I'm sure that 123Stitch will do a special order for you. The other sites might also. I have not been able to find any metallics except for some of the DMC types at any of the Craft stores I go to. Michaels nor HobbyLobby carry them and the Walmarts near me barely have thread. No LNS anymore for me, so online is usually the best option.

Hope you find what you need.

you will have a hard time finding a kreinik emerald and white torsade because kreinik doesnt make it in that color. http://www.kreinik.com/shops/Torsade/

Thanks I've found something similar to the colors I want on an old blanket at a flea market. It was used as trim along the seams! $3.00 blanket and more trim than I know what to do with. I looked at all the sites given to me and have a wish list that would make my husband cringe, will hide it with my chocolate and candy stash.
