Well Christmas came a little early as I couldn't resist another great thread set from Aurifil! You know how much I love Aurifil and on my quest to possess every single yummy colour, the designer sets in their perfect cases are such a great way to add to my collection.
This set of 12 spools of 50 weight, 100% Aurifil Cotton, contains all those wonderfully classic holiday shades. There are greens and reds galore with a black and off-white (always useful!) for good measure. Meant to co-ordinate flawlessly with Kim Schaefer's 'festive projects' book (you know I ordered it already!), these colours are great for any Christmas sewing I might do.
I always get my Aurifil from Bytowne Threads, an excellent Canadian source and a super friendly company. Mari Lyn goes out of her way to provide great customer service and the shipping is so fast (I'm very impatient!). I've decided to start saving my pennies (well, Canada doesn't have a penny any more but you understand) to one day get a gorgeous thread stand full of a rainbow of Aurifil thread. I've seen them in Craftsy videos on-set and the store display stands have me drooling. I just think one would look smashing in my workshop and it would totally get used as well - that makes perfect sense then, doesn't it! I could probably create my own display with all the spools of scrumptious colours I already have but I'll try to buy the official one. I heard on the news that a majority of people buy themselves a gift at the holidays. For me, it's always something to add to my creativity. Have you bought yourself a little a present this year???
Great information - we all need the thread and all the colors of the rainbow.thanks
