Rainbow Gallery Price Increase
Rainbow Gallery has raised their prices for the first time in 2 years. I have left my IN STOCK splendor silks as the old price until they sell out. Any new colours ordered will be at the new price of $7.25 per card.
Limited colours and quantities in stock. Only colours priced at $6.50 are in stock and ready to ship.
Spring Sale - Splendor Silks by Rainbow Gallery
Build your Stash of Supplies
During December I have re-launched my mystery packs. Each listing will have standard colour options*, Pastels, Bold/Jeweltones, Neutrals or Metallics (depending of the style of pack). I create each of the mystery packs as they are ordered so if you have a favourite colour I am happy to adapt these for you.
These also make great gifts for friends or family. Thread pack mystery packs coming soon
*colours depend on what is in stock at the time of creation

A note about Fabrics
There are so many types and colours of fabrics I am unable to carry everything in stock. I am updating the listing to include the notes “Needs to be Ordered” or “Currently in Stock - Small, Medium and/or Large” … if you don’t see either note on a listing please assume it needs to be ordered
Feel free to email me with any questions
Lots of Fabric on Order!
I have been ordering from Picture This Plus for a couple of years. I have a monthly order for fabrics that are slowly making there way through the dyeing process (and I do mean Sloooooooowly).
Each time I have a Picture This Plus order in transit I add it to my Coming Soon section that you can access directly from my newsletter or you can filter my fabric by Brand collections! (For Needle & Flax, it is in coming soon when I add it to my "To be dyed" list with the supplier!)
Below are my hand dyed fabrics that are in stock and ready to ship! Remember that each listing will note the sizes in stock currently (Small ONLY (1 piece) ... or Small, Medium and/or Large (1 peice))
In Stock - Hand Dyed Fabrics! (find more using the dropdown menu)
Always in Stock
* NEW for fall 2023 - DMC Perle #12 balls are now Always in stock!
There are some items that everyone needs to be in stock when you want it ... for me DMC floss is one of those items. It always frustrates me when you go into a store (who will remain nameless) and they are out of stock on most of the thread. You are all excited to start a new pattern and you are pulled down to Earth, your bubble bursts, your dreams are shattered .... well a little over the top but you all know the feeling.
I am going to create a core group of items that will always be in stock (barring unforeseen disasters ... like the zombie apocalypse or a ship stuck in the Suez Canal), I will try to have 2 skeins of each colour in stock.
Included in my "Always in Stock" are ....
DMC Perle Cotton #5 & #12! (other sizes by special order)
Weeks Dye Works Stranded Cotton
Appleton Crewel 2 ply wool (skeins only)
Classic Colorworks Cotton floss
Mill Hill Seed Beads
There is a drop down menu under the "THREADS (UPDATED FOR 2024)" where you can see all the threads that have the entire collection in stock!
"Always in Stock" DMC (Floss, Perle #5 & Perle #12)
