Thanks for sharing.
I’m really enjoying these videos. I love stitching on linen with silk. It’s heaven!
The videos are just wonderful. You ladies are the ultimate enablers! I really enjoyed all of the info shared. I believe stitching is great therapy. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
Needlework is definitely good for the soul. I deal with chronic pain and have had multiple doctors commend me for using that as a means of helping with pain control and meditation. Thanks for doing these videos and showing us various aspects of stitching. I have been to The Attic several times but hope you are able to show us around the store as you did at Sassy Jacks. ❤️
Imagine being Jean - she has the run of the sweet shop !
Morning ladies, Gorgeous silks and linen... Thank you both for sharing... we need an Attic in Scotland... Happy stitching... xx Louisa...
Wonderful video, thank you!
Thank you both again! I love seeing all of your lovely beauties Jean! I hope to visit next year on a camping trip! You will have to boot me out of the store:) Love the 30 count piece 1 over 1. Never thought really of doing that and now I will!
Thanks to both of you for the wonderful videos from The Attic. How I would love to visit that shop some day. Loved seeing all the beautiful accessories, threads and linen. I am going to have to call-in an order on some linen. Just beautiful colors. So enjoyed the visit. Norma in Boise, ID
Love the colors of the silks!! I just bought 56 ct Kingston Linen at Celebration of Needlework in Nashua NH! Really looking forward to stitching something on it!
Nicola....Thank you so much for all these lovely videos!! I learn something every time I watch and am so appreciative that you share with us!! Hope you don't mind a question....I have not used silks before but over the past year or so have gotton to love 40 ct linen. Last year when I attended a Prim Stitchers Retreat I was super excited to purchase a piece of Lakeside uneven weave 52/60. I have yet to stitch anything on it yet.....I tried a row using just regular DMC and it just seemed too bulky. I t seemed the thread was too thick on that high count. So my question is....could you discuss the different silks out there and the difference in their thickness and how they lay on these higher count linens? Also I heard using a "ballpoint" needle is helpful with these linens so you don't split the threads. I have never used or even seen one. Could you shed light on that too? Lastly, there was a rumor that Lakeside was no longer dyeing linen....but I just saw your interview with Pat....so I feel relieved to assume that was just a rumor? A friend tried emailing and got an error message so thought they had gone out of business? Thanks again! Lisa
Lisa K I released a video yesterday that will show the difference between a few threads. For 52/60 I would recommend au ver a soie surfine or Tudor
@@nicolaparkman Thank you so much Nicola!
What is the name of the "Elizabeth" sampler? It is wonderful!
How do the Soie Surfine and the 100/3 differ?
The main difference is on the costruction of the two threads that are made of the same kind of spun silk. The 100/3 is composed by 3 "strands" Z twisted together and the Surfine is made of 2 "strands" ( 130/2). Hope this helps:)
