Threaded Embrace

Some of you may have received my email yesterday with this news but for those who did not I am sad to say that I will be gradually closing Threaded Embrace over the next few months.

Life has changed a lot for me over the last couple of years and I am no longer able to commit the time to Threaded Embrace that it needs. I have made the very difficult decision to close the business so I can focus on my family.

It really has been a wonderful thing to be part of the fibre community both locally and further afield and I will continue to spin, knit and dye for my own enjoyment when I can find those spare moments.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me in so many ways over the last 7 years. I have discounted all my hand dyed yarns and fibres by 20% so now is the perfect time to head over to my website and stock up on all the squishy goodness.

A reminder that the Guild Traders Day is on Saturday 8th at the Alexander Park Craft House.
There will be quite a few yarn and fibre businesses there with all our goodies and it’s open to the public so even if you aren’t a guild member you can come along and pick up some lovely fluff.
I’ll also be bringing along all my buttons and various other accessories.

The Guild Traders Day is going to be happening in the 8th of June. It’s open to everyone and there will be several local dyers and yarn/fibre businesses there. This is such a lovely event with a very welcoming community.

Flox Multi-tool by Floops Stitch Markers.
These are a great addition to your knitting/crochet toolkit. Able to be used as a stitch marker, cable needle, i-cord needle and so so many other uses.
Plus I have the entire solid colour range in stock right now because I couldn’t choose between them or get past the amazing rainbow of colours. 🌈💗

Want yarn that’ll knock your socks off?
SHOCKER is the yarn for you, it’s very very pink but also not too pink if you know what I mean… anyway I have a sweater quantity in stock if you’re keen.

Oh the White Gum Wool DK is just sooooooooo squishy. Just look at its chubby little yarn butt. 😉

New product!
Those who received an advent got first hands on these new pom-poms. I have a small selection available at the moment which I will extend if you all like them.
They are all approx 10cm diameter and have a small elastic loop so you can make them removable for washing by sewing buttons on the inside of your items.
You can find them in the accessories section on my website.

And we have Rolags and Batts up on the website!
I’ve been trying to decide how to list these for a while but went with individual listings for each so the colours can all be seen easily and you can filter by colour/fibre etc.
I hand make all my batts and rolags on a blending board and frequently use small remnants of fibre that would otherwise be wasted so they’re usually one of a kind creations (I believe they’re technically fauxlags but it’s potayto/potahto unless you’re a technical spinner).
•

I’ve managed to update and add all my currently in stock tops/roving to the website. Rolag sand batts will be following in the next couple of days.
There was so much in my boxes that hadn’t been photographed or listed so there is quite a lot of new stuff up right now.

NEW STOCK
I’ve been busy updating listings and getting all my stock photographed. Today’s task was to get all the full wool skeins up on the website.
I’m hoping to get the fibre listings updated by midday tomorrow and then I’ve got a couple of new items to show you all.

Let’s talk bases.
I currently have quite a few bases in both yarn and fibre which makes it hard to stock much of any one colourway/base.
I’m thinking about reducing the selection a little this year so I’d love to know which you’d most like to see in stock.
My current bases are;
Wool & Blend Yarns:
White Gum Wool Fingering/4ply
White Gum Wool DK/8ply
White Gum Wool Merino/Silk Sock (4ply)
Embrace Lace (Merino/Silk 2ply)
Threads of Gold Sock (Merino/Nylon/Stellina 4ply)
Cloud Embrace (Brushed Suri Alpaca Lace weight)

Cotton Yarns
Bendigo Cotton 4ply, 8ply and 10ply

Fibres (I’m only listing my regularly stocked bases):
White Gum Wool Sliver
Merino/Mulberry Silk
Merino/Bamboo
Merino/Tencel
Aussie Magic - Suri Alpaca/Optim
Alpaca/Silk
Baby Camel/Silk

I feel that I need to narrow things down to 4 wool yarns, 2 cotton yarns, and 4 fibre bases so I’d love to know which ones you’d like to see stay and which you feel you could do without.
