New Threads

Sunday July 5, 2009
Recently, I read on the DMC website that they have more new threads coming soon. I am more excited about these than the scented floss. This time, the floss is called Color Infusions. Within the line there are four types of floss: Memory Thread, Sparklers, Silky, and Cotton Cord. According to DMC these flosses will be great for needlework projects and paper crafts. I look forward to trying them out.

Another floss brand I tried out recently is Chameleon thread "individually hand-dyed in South Africa using cotton, rayon and pure silk." These flosses are luscious. I have been stitching with them, but haven't finished anything to show yet. I couldn't wait to tell you about them though. Check out their website at Chameleon Threads to see all the lovely variety of colors they offer.

Right now, the full line of Chameleon flosses is only available through their site. You might check with your local needlecraft store if you have one to see if they are carrying the threads or if they plan to do so.

Or, contact Chameleon flosses directly to find out more about US distributors.
