This was excellent and so helpful to a novice like myself who has no local shop to actually see fabrics & floss. I’m thrilled to see the sample packs bring offered and am off to order both. Thank you both!
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this video! Silks demystified! 😂 looking forward to the needle episode! - Rachel
Thank you, Cathe and Nicola, for taking the time to share your knowledge of silk threads. They seem like such a mystery... I enjoyed learning about the different types of silk and the uses - this is my first view of the video, but now I'm going to watch it again so that I can take notes. Thank you.
Thanks for this video Nicola. I learned so much Cathe, and look forward to trying out the silks and linens coming my way from your shop. What a generous gesture to offer us those sampler packs, truly appreciated. Cheers, Margit.
What a wonderful floss tube all about silk threads
Enjoyed this visit very much. A lot of questions I had regarding silks were answered, and I'm not quite as overwhelmed. I appreciate the coordinated format of sharing so many years and types of experience. Please keep these videos coming!
I LOVED this, so interesting and useful! Thank you both! Btw, I have had Cathe put together many threads (long distance) for a needlepoint project and she was super great, with personalized service. Her shop has a fabulous thread site too, with all the threads and colors.
Thank you Nicola and Cathe. I am restarting my cross-stitching since my last project in 1985! Then silks are gorgeous. I've always enjoyed hand needlework.
Hi Nicola... fabulous overview of silk threads! Thanks so much to you and Cathe!
Thank you so much Cathe and Nicola. A truly informative and enjoyable presentation. You are also a true scientist Cathe.
I've never stitched with silks because it was all so overwhelming. This video is excellent. So helpful. I love the sampler packs...a chance to try out different silks n materials. I'll give it a try now. Thank u!
Wow - THANK you so, so much for all the information 💞 …a lot to know and consider 👌
I am new to cross stitching and silk. This tutorials was a great review of the characteristics of different silks, their uses and applications. Thank you both. I also appreciate the chart that was included.
Thank you for the document on silks! Great podcast. I am going to order both sample kits.
Ty Cathe and Nicola, very appreciative for this comprehensive silk comparison, really invaluable, watched entire video and also appreciate the handwritten notes in between segments. Ty also for the Access link.
You ladies!! Wonderful video! Thank you for all the information!! ❣❣❣
What a fabulous review of all the silks! It's a great tutorial with so much information. I'll likely view it again to catch more details. Of course, now I'm very excited about stitching something in silk since I've never used it for hand embroidery.
Thank you for this wonderful video. What a font of knowledge you both are. I always turn a shade of green with envy when I watch your store based videos. I love the UK but sometimes I really wish I lived in the US to have access to those wonderful stores. Postage and custom fees often put me off purchasing from the US as I find in a lot of cases it can double the cost of the item.
This was fantastic! Thank you for sharing your expertise. I flagged this video to be in my "Stitching Reference" folder. I hope to visit Needle in a Haystack one day.
Afternoon ladies... very informative video... Thank you both for sharing your time with us... Happy stitching... xx Louisa...
Fascinating! I learned so much and am so curious to experiment and keep some personal record as Cathe did for future reference. Can’t wait to learn more about needles. I always have enjoyed Cathy’s very thorough dive into different topics, she is so curious about the topic and scientific in her
Sorry! Sent that prematurely 😬
. . . exploration of every topic that I feel as though I have a lab jacket and safety glasses on! These discussions are absolutely fascinating, thank you!
Thank you Nicola and Cathe for this wonderful, informative video. I really enjoyed it.
An excellent video as always. Very informative again. You have inspired me to have a go at a sampler, the difficulty is deciding which one.
Cathe is so knowkedgeable. Thank you for interview. I am returning to crossstitch after a 30 year absence.
Excellent video! I try to visit Needle in a Haystack when I’m in the Bay Area for work because it is wonderful. I learned a lot and I was most interested in Cathe validating Splendor can be used in cross stitch as I opted to use it for Theresa, Kitten Stitcher’s Sampler Saviour’s Praise. Thanks, Nicola and Cathe.
Amazing video❗️Tks Ladies. I’m looking forward to see more and more. Happy Stitching 🥰
So many brands to choose from! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Wonderful information. I must watch again to retain it all. Thank you, ladies.
The video was wonderful and full of invaluable information about silks. Thank you both.
Hi good to know the different floss threads 🧵 thank you I’m on my way to needle in a haystack store ❤
Fascinating information. I appreciate you taking time!
I LOVED THIS VIDEO! Thank you so much! I ordered both kits! Please keep these educational videos coming. Oh Nicola BTW thanks to you I am hooked on Poldark🤣🤣
Thank you so much for requesting the higher number counts in evenweave. I began stitching on aida and never really liked it. Linen and silks are beautiful to work with. I am very interested in doing a Bristol orphanage sampler piece. I have ordered your Harriett Salt sampler and am excited to begin. Get some rest!🙂❤🧵
I appreciate the video. Silk threads now demystified. Thank you!
Thank you this helped me understand some. I appreciate your time and sharing of knowledge.
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us!!!
much love,
amy
Wonderfully informative video..I enjoyed it so much! Off to order both silk samplers. While I have used many of those mentioned, there are some I’ve not had the opportunity to try yet. Looking forward to exploring! Thanks so much❤️.
This was wonderful. Thank you both so much for doing this.
This is a wonderful video. Thanks for the silk lesson!
This is soooo interesting .Thank you so much for this video.🥰
This is so very helpful, And it makes me want to stitch even more :)
This was so very interesting! Thank you!
This is very informative! Thank y’all!
Hello Nicola ,this is so very interesting,
have you considered not having a split screen?
Your input would be interesting at the end maybe.
Thank you so much for the really helpful info! I fear it will cause me to start stashing even more types of silk threads.😁
Well done another great helpful video. Look forward to trying some silk thread. I love about the made up silk packaging but the problem lies in how much for postage, unfortunately it usually means I don’t buy them because of this. 😎😎😎🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much, really helpful. I’d love to buy the sample packs but the shipping to uk is too much. Are there any uk stockists? 🌸🎀
Thank you
Wonderful information!
Very informative video! Thanks
How do I order silk saplings. I don't see a link
Samplings
In the description box of the video there are links to two different samplings.
Wanted to find the sample packs Nicola recommended. Thx
Great video!!!!! Thank u. ❤️
Very interesting and informative video. Also intrigued to try some of the different threads. Would anyone be prepared to put together a set of threads all different silks in different colour families such as autumn or summer shades etc for us to try. I think that would be great. Decided to order both the sample kits.
Elaine Warren
Cathe is doing just that, as mentioned in the video.
@@gailmccarthy52 noticed that on checking the links. Hadn't realised that's what they meant. I've ordered both!
What a great video, I've learned so much! thank you!!! I wonder if there are 'starter kits' available of silks commonly used in samplers (I know, there are so many colors! not easy to do...) Access Commodities has some variety of silk packs available on Cathe's site (needle in haystack like this: www.needlestack.com/WebStore/Thread/AVAS_FleshTones.html, and here is another: search.cartserver.com/search/search.cgi?cartid=s-2841&category=thread&bool=AND&keywords=Ensemble&go=Search but wondered if they would ever do packs of silks in a variety of colors for those just wanting to have them in their stash.
I wish the chimes were not there..it made it a bit hard to focus on what you were saying..
