Sounds great! I look forward to your email :)
Beautiful colors Alla, really a great find for yarn edgings.
It is so hard to find fine crochet cotton. I use size 30 quite a bit for cross bookmarks. I have been making them for over 35 years–is that possible? My pattern was inspired by a bookmark made for my mother by my great-grandmother. I love ombres, but those are even harder to find. Thanks for the info.
I crochet beaded purses and I use size 5 opera crochet thread. My problem is that the company I order my thread from, American Best, seems to be going out of business. I have been searching the web for another company to order from. My purses are made from Opera size 5 crochet thread so I can get a #8 bead on the thread and Opera thread makes a very beautiful perse. If there is a company or someone who knows a company that can supply my growing business please email me at simswendy@gmail.com Thank you
