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!

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

Good luck.

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

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