Hi fellow Arachnids, Do not worry too much about the Finca threads in the UK. I am sure that some of the general lace traders will take up the slack. Try Claires Lace, Roseground (has already stocked some Finca) or SMP Lace.
Happy lace making, Joepie, East Sussex, UK From: Susan<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: 23 March 2016 17:41 To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [lace] Fwd: Finca threads Hello All! Just sending this along because a friend sells Finca thread at her shop in Ohio & I was concerned about losing access to 16 perle. While it eased my mind to know there is plenty of inventory in the US, I wonder what's causing a problem in the UK. Obviously I would be happy to help facilitate if anyone on Arachne needs Finca threads. Please contact me off list.

Presencia changed hands many years ago, but is going strong in full production. > > They may have mistaken the part of the world (Spain) where Presencia is based with the Turkish company Altin Basak which makes threads, perles and metallic/perle cotton combination. They have closed. I am looking for a substitute for a designer and she is going to audition Rainbow Gallery "Highlights" and "Silk Lame Braid" for a class kit. > > To quote Colonial "we have a whole tracker trailer full of thread". > > - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
