Oy, it's been a busy (and long and cold) winter here! Just a quick note as we're getting many inquiries about 'this Lustr'ed Cloth'. We are expecting another shipment within the next (hopefully) couple weeks. We are not taking orders just yet as with the changing value of the US dollar we don't know yet what our price is (it may change, or it may not).

Also, we're in the process of adding new dyed silk goodies to the online catalog. They are vibrant single fibers and fiber play packs, along with a restock of undyed hankies and cocoon strippings. Photos soon.

I've had quite a few requests for the new Fibrefusion book "On Form". I have an order in for the book and hopefully it will be here shortly (I can't wait!) along with more of their previous publications "Beyond Boundaries" "Encrustation" and "Evolutions". Watch this space for details...

Just when I thought it had been abducted for an alien autopsy my shipment of this Lustr'ed Cloth by Alyson Mydgelow Marsden showed up. This is a fabulous book if you're into combining metals and metal effects into textiles - very cool! This is the latest book by Marsden, following on the heels of Between the Sheets with Angelina.

Also new - digging around in my office I came across some forgotten packages of Rachel Meek's vibrant spiral dyed merino wool. Yum, I love surprises like this!

Is anyone else as crazy as I am about moo cards? I couldn't resist, so i had some made up in snazzy stitchy phrases and made them into bookmarks. We're including the moomarks with book purchases while supplies last.


One more note - we're expecting a shipment any day now of this Lustr'ed Cloth by Alyson Mydgelow Marsden, the latest by the author of Between the Sheets with Angelina. This one is all about using metals in your textile art.
