Finding Candlewicking Thread

I recently found a source for candlewicking thread. I prefer to use the "real thing" for my projects even though cotton embroidery floss and perle cotton thread work too. I wanted to wait to blog about it until I actually saw the product.

I haven't stitched with it yet, but I finally received my order, and the product is of good quality, so I wanted to share the source with you. (I am in no way associated with this company, just in case you are wondering.)

Needlework Corner not only has natural color candlewicking thread, they also carry a number of colors. The only complaint I have is that they are slow in shipping compared to some shops, however, I received my product well within the promised time of 1-2 weeks. Right now, they are having an overstock sale, so get your order in while they have the thread in stock!

I am hoping to start a Candlewicking project soon, but right now I have so many WIPs it is crazy. So I need to constrain myself and avoid starting a new project until I finish some older ones.

If you have never tried this traditional embroidery style, why not order some thread and round up some fabric and try it out?
