purses kreinik metallic threads are a lovely contrast in texture and light to her mainstay fiber silk ribbon the blend creates visual interest a beautiful mix that we find in life itself we asked leah a few questions about her embroidery work q when did you start stitching a i have had a sewing needle in my hands since i was about eight years old i m a young 65 now starting out with regular embroidery then counted cross stitch then beginning in 1980 i began a quilting journey that lasted until the early 2000 s at that point i had a burning desire to go back to embroidery but wanted to focus on silk ribbon because of the beautiful dimensional aspect of it i discovered kreinik threads about 8 years ago and have been incorporating it into my needle work whenever i can now q do you have any tips on stitching with kreinik threads a i used the black glittery thread on my fish and it was very curly coming off the spool making it not want to lay flat when i stitched i finally ran it through my hair straightener tool which heated it up a bit and that took the curl out without damaging the thread q where do you get your inspiration a for me as an artist inspiration comes from many places nature my gardens pinterest bird watching my photography etc since i mostly stitch with silk ribbon i am constantly playing with new stitches or threads to see what will happen with them i play around all the time i have a small library of stitch books and if i am in a jam i go onto youtube and watch tutorials regarding stitching that helps a lot too read more posted by kreinikgirl at 4 30

silk mori silk serica spring is coming along with blooms and colors galore we celebrate nature s spring shades with a spotlight on pink colors in kreinik silk threads see below for color families you can use in samplers embroidery cross stitch needlepoint and more kreinik silk mori is a 6 strand spun silk with a creamy luster silk takes dyes deeper than cotton so the colors are richer deeper silk feels dreamy to your fingers too soft but strong use silk mori in any stitch combining the number of strands you need depending on the stitch or fabric silk mori comes in the same colors as kreinik silk serica the filament shiny version plus a group of sampler specific tones we call milkpaint kreinik silk serica is a 3 ply twisted filament silk most often used in needlepoint hardanger embroidery crazy quilting and samplers the natural high sheen of a filament silk looks best in specialty stitches that show off the lustre if you use silk serica as it comes straight off the reel it s similar in weight to a pearl cotton you can also separate it moisten it and use it as a flat silk for japanese style embroidery kreinik silk bella is a super thin filament silk even though it is tiny you can still see the gorgeous natural sheen of silk it is most often used for detailed work like stitching on silk gauze or couching thicker threads or fine details on designs think veins in bug wings etc silk bella comes in a smaller range of colors but still in matching shades to silk mori and silk serica for more information visit http www kreinik com shops silk threads read more posted by

needlepoint threads tapestry 12 braid very fine 4 braid to our valued stitchers creators and fly fishing enthusiasts 2020 has been the most out of the ordinary year of our collective lives the pandemic created regulations and upheaval on every level economic medical social personal national international it has been devastating for people and small businesses kreinik is still here because of two factors 1 you and 2 our staff strengthened by your patience and their dedication kreinik is determined to get us all through 2020 and thriving in 2021 in the best possible way with that goal we are enacting an extraordinary but temporary measure for the next eight weeks we are only making the top 60 to 80 colors in kreinik 4 8 and 12 braid lines we know that limiting the colors in production sounds drastic and some people won t be able to get some colors temporarily but we need to catch up we need to dedicate all production machines to in demand colors shops need to get the most popular colors restocked our staff needs some pressure relief this will do it the limit on color production does not apply to silk threads blending filament medium 16 braid canvas 24 braid 1 8 ribbon 1 16 ribbon ombre micro ice chenille facets or japan threads it applies only to very fine 4 braid fine 8 braid and tapestry 12 braid for the next eight weeks what can you do if you are in desperate need of a color that we aren t producing right now there are several solutions many retailers have stock of these odd colors so search online or contact us for names of shops that do mail order join one of the needlework or fly fishing groups on facebook reddit or other social media and ask if someone has the color you need many people are willing to trade give or sell there are also retailers in these groups who may see the post consider substituting with a similar color in the line in the next week we will share on our social media several conversion lists that may help please feel free to contact us with any questions thank you so much for your patience and understanding when we are caught up we will return to making our full color line while our facility is closed to the public right now we hope to restore factory tours and reopen the outlet store in 2021 regards doug kreinik read more posted by kreinikgirl at 1 00 am add a comment send email a bit of bad thread news monday november 9

stitch threads kreinik metallic thread i need the balger which thread is it we get this inquiry a lot especially now during the pandemic as people are stitching older projects from their stash balger was the name we used for our metallic thread line back in the 1970s 1980s today we have about 20 different threads in that line but back then the number was much smaller if your design uses that old term balger we know it s probably blending filament cord or 8 braid i n order to figure out which of these three threads your project may be calling for we need to look at how the thread is being used in the design if you have an older project particularly a cross stitch project check your chart or pattern for these potentially identifying factors is the balger color meant to be combined with cotton floss if so it is probably blending filament is the balger color meant to be used by itself for a bolder look it is probably fine 8 braid does the balger color have a c in the color number it is our thin cord of course if you re having any trouble identifying a kreinik thread from old you can also email us and we ll do our best to figure it out together keep in mind that some colors have been discontinued over the years here s a list of those colors http kreinikthread blogspot com 2019 04 discontinued kreinik thread colors html read more posted by kreinikgirl at 11 08 am add a comment
