Re: [h-cost] Question for embroiderers
Thank you so much for trying. I went shopping while in CA for cost-con-26 and found some lovely fabric so the other project is on hold for a while anyway. Margaret Hi Margaret, I am sorry I did not get back to you sooner but everything was in chaos when I go back from London. We lost one cat to cancer and almost lost another to hyperthyroidism. All is much improved now. Anyway, I looked in several stores and was unable to find anyplace in London or Colchester that sold Pearsall's. We even went online and the only place that had any was in Wales. It would need to be mail ordered. I even went to a place here in Va. Beach that as supposed to carry it and they did not. The only other place I could find was also online but nobody carries the spools. I suspect that you got some vintage silk that is no longer made. Sorry I was no successful.

From Mary Corbet/Needle'n Thread.com: Good news - there is a supplier in the US. You can purchase Pearsall's - approximately 350 shades in 75 color categories - from An Itch to Stitch.

RE: [h-cost] Question for embroiderers
In my experience it's one of the best available in the world (although naturally it dpends on the end use). Sorry - don't know of a US stockist, as I just order through the webisite direct (but am in UK).

Re: [h-cost] Question for embroiderers
The colors hold true for the whole spool (it comes on a spool as a single thread which I like), did not fray easily, and did not tangle if I used bee's wax.
