I only have large chain stores in my area, which don't carry the threads that
I'm looking for. Does anyone know of a website where I could purchase items
like:
Glissengloss Rainbow blending thread
True Colors pre-blended thread
Kreinik blending filiment
Kreinik Japan Thread
Kreinik Very Fine Braid
DMC metallic floss

I prefer USA sites. Thanks!

We (www.northernneedle.com) carry the Kreinik blending filament and #4 Braid
(very fine braid) and all 12 of the DMC metallic floss colors (check out the
6 new ones - they are truly gorgeous! My favorite is the Electric Blue).
Lois at Elegant Stitch (www.elegantstitch.com) can probably help with the
Rainbow gallery and some of the other threads you were looking for.

Sue Lentz carries most of those flosses. She is very reputable. I have
ordered from her since the early '80's. Get on her mailing list for her
newsletter as well.

I'm so bad with my poor memory these days, but are you from the Pittsburgh
area of PA? If so, you can find these items at the Unique Boutique in
Heidelberg (near Bridgeville...of I-79). I'm certain they have all of these
except I'm not sure about the True Color. If you aren't from the Pittsburgh
area, please disregard this message as the ramblings of the
mis-informed...LOL

I would highly recommend contacting Tapestry of Dreams. They are so
good. I placed my second order with them yesterday (via phone) and the
lady remembered me from my first order and even knew that they
misspelled my name on the mailing label -- now how is that for service.
They have a web page at www.tapestryofdreams.com which also lists a toll
free number if you prefer to call. They have fast, courteous services
and their mailing costs are next to nothing.

Love in Stitches,

Coleen

Nordic Needle is a great place to look as well (www.nordicneedle.com). I
haven't heard of those first two items on your list, but know they carry the
rest. :)

Nordic Needle (www.nordicneedle.com, I think) carries all except I
haven't seen the True Colors one listed. you can't order directly
from the website, but you can sign up for a catalog, or call the 800
number listed there. I've had great service from them, just got an
order last week that arrived 3 days after they received my order.
