Cute as a bugs ear!

NEW!

Tiny little book of needles,

each decorated with tiny X's that make up it's cover design.

 

Offered in 3 sizes of needles. 

 Each sweet little book is home to six nickel-plated,

 high quality,

 tapestry needles. 

 The needles of choice for cross stitch.

 



 

A little stitching sentiment

 adorns the backside of each booklet.

 



Offered in sizes 24 - 26 - 28...

your most often used sizes of needles for cross stitch. 

 

What size needle to use? 

 

My general guideline is:

14 to 16  count - size 24

18 count  - size 26

32 count or above - size 26 or 28

Size 28's are my favorite for working over 1 thread on small count linens.

The bigger the needle number, the smaller the needle.

Just remember, the higher the count linen, the higher number needle size!

 

This is just what works best for me, others may have their own favorites. 

Remember, you want the eye of your needle

 to be big enough

 to gently open the fibers, slightly.

  This allows more room

 for the floss to move through the linen

 and prevents the floss from fraying.

 

The little book of needles

 are sold exclusively through www.countrystitchesonline.com

and

 can be viewed under the NEW ITEMS category there.

 

And lastly,

 a couple of sneak peeks...

 

The book of needle cover designs have been charted

for stitching,

 



and

are currently being stitched

 for future pattern releases. 

The above piece, "The Sampler House" needs some frogging...

Can you spot my error?

I stitched the crow onto the wrong letter...{sigh}

 

With thy Needle & Thread,
