Paint-Box Threads

Happy Easter Stitching!

Just a little announcement:

The Studio will be closed for visitors Thursday 24th April, because we will be at The Gathering in Stirling, and also at WonderWool in Wales.

We may be a little slower on the emails and order shipping over the next few weeks, due to the above shows and family commitment. We will try to not take more than a day or 2 longer than normal, but please bear with us and leave a note on the order if it’s an urgent thread requirement!

We are the home of beautiful artisan threads and fabrics; all hand dyed from our studio in the heart of the Herefordshire country side and beloved by many stitchers and artists worldwide.

The Home of the Hand Dyed

Keep your eyes peeled for these beauties… I’m spending some much needed time on photographing and website updates this weeks. If you visited us at Alexandra Palace for the @theknittingandstitchingshows you may have already taken them home… 😉. . . . #paintboxtheads #handdyed #handdyedthreads #handdyedthread #perle8 #cotton #embroidery #quilting #stitch #slowstitching
