When I picked up the cloth from Hainsworth in Leeds I carried on to Madeira thread in Ripon. Karen Burrows had kindly said that she could help me out with some thread for this project. They let me loose in the sample boxes and I came away with a treasure trove of stuff.
I knew that I would be after some of their Classic embroidery thread; good colour, great sheen, dependable to use. Its lived up to its reputation. It sits on the woollen cloth and looks gorgeous; the texture of them both looks great.
So as you can imagaine I am eating up the thread at a fair ol' rate. Give the size of the embroidery I had picked up 5,000m cops. This is my first one empty; a black Classic. However there are two reds looking pretty skinny and a white on the slender side. I reckon I will easily have used more than 18 miles once the piece is finished and thats not including the bobbin fill.
