Floss Love Vol. 7: Tapestry Wool and Pearl Cotton

I haven't done a Floss Love post in quite awhile - so here is my latest haul from the needlework shop.

Above: black and yellow DMC Tapestry Wool for a project that will be on the Feeling Stitchy blog soon!! (Also, my first time stitching with wool!)

Below: more DMC wool because I love these colors and may use them in another embroidery project.

I also picked up one skein of the blue Appleton wool to try stitching sometime and a few colors of Anchor pearl cotton.

Who out there stitches with wool?? What brands do you like best?

P.S. - Anyone who lives in the Seattle area and is looking for a great retail needlework shop - I highly recommend Threadneedle Street in Issaquah. Huge selection of floss!!

P.P.S - Check out the DMC Coloris Floss Review on Feeling Stitchy and stitch up the free pattern!!

Floss Love - Danish Flower Threads

The other day I went to a needlework shop in Issaquah called Threadneedle Street.

My plan was to check out their thread selections.

I love looking at all the different types of threads. I picked up some for my next embroidery project and also some I have never seen before.

Anchor Pearl Cotton

I ended up buying some Anchor pearl cotton. The skeins above are all size 5. I also picked up 2 rolls of purple Anchor pearl cotton in size 8.

Anchor Pearl Cotton

I have never used pearl cotton before in any of my embroidery, so I am interested to see what I think of it and if I like it.

I also bought 3 skeins of Haandarbejdets Fremme Dansk Blomstergarn threads from Denmark. I have never seen this thread before and after some Google-ing, I've found out this thread is called "Danish Flower threads". 

Dansk Blomstergarn

I liked how all the colors of this thread are very light and natural looking.
