Thread Spools

Some of you might remember last year I think it was I was asking how you all stored your threads.  I was looking for a better way to store mine and finally found one.

These little wooden spools are hand made in the Dandenong Ranges in Victoria are are a lovely quality.

As I am starting a new thread now I will be swapping over to store my threads on these cute little spools.  Still thinking about how to store them.  At the moment I have then in a little tin case, but have my thinking hat on for another way to store them. 

So the details - they are available in either a box of 20 (as pictured) (no thread on them of course) or a bag of 5 to get you started.  Each spool is 30mm x 20mm and will hold an 8m or 10m skein of thread so perfect for Cosmo, DMC or your other favourite stranded cotton.

I love that no longer will I have creases in my threads too, but really it is the cute factor.

Heading off for the weekend

Early tomorrow morning I will be flying off to Queensland for a shop owners retreat held by Sue Dayley of Patchwork with Busy Fingers.  So I will be here for four lovely days learning, being inspired and no doubt doing lots of talking.

The shop will be closed from Thursday 9th February and will re-open on Tuesday 14th February.

Feel free to still place an order and I will process it as soon as I return.

I look forward to returning and sharing with you all that I learn.
