SU!'s Linen Thread

[puppydoggrins]

I am quite in love with my SU! linen thread. I can see it making its way into a lot of my new designs. Does anyone know of a place where I can buy it in larger quantities or possibly in different colors? I haven't headed down the baker's twine road yet, but it looks a lot thicker.. as does hemp twine, etc. I like the fineness of the SU! stuff and like that it isn't waxed.

Thanks.

I use a linen thread called Rainbow Linen that's designed for needlepointers and cross stitchers. It's by a company called Rainbow Gallery and it comes in colors. It's 20 yards on a card for less than $3 US.
Here's the colors on the company's web site: Rainbow Gallery

The company Cindy mentioned doesn't sell retail. So here's just one of many needlework shops that sells a good selection of the Rainbow Linen. I think I may just order some!

Try Paper Source. I was there yesterday and I saw about 3 different colors. I think you can order from them online as well.

Yes, Rainbow Gallery is a wholesaler, here's the retail link where I get the linen thread: Needle In A Haystack-Thread Inventory

Have you considered using craft thread? I found a 150 pack that included about 25 amazingly rich and BEAUTIFUL colors. There is 10 yards for skein and you get anywhere from maybe 3-8 skeins per color. It's slightly thinner than The Twinery Baker's Twine (or regular floss in general), but it's so beautiful I couldn't resist. I purchased the package last week and keep admiring how gorgeous the colors are. The brand I found is Sensations at Joann next to the embroidery floss. It is made of 100% mercerized cotton and is used for things like friendship bracelets and such. I thought it would be great for my WRMK Sew Easy, etc. It doesn't seem to unravel as easily like regular floss. Costs about $16.99 for the whole package. That's 1500 yards of rainbow goodness!
