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 Vol. 6: Messy Floss Organization

I always like seeing how other stitchers store and organize their floss.

I have a plastic three-drawer organizer that I use to keep my DMC floss in. 

The drawers originally started out very neat and tidy, but I gave that up years ago.

Here are photos of each drawer.

We have the greens and blues.



Reds/Purples/Yellows/Oranges/Pinks


Black/Browns/Greys/Whites



How do you store your floss??
