After your first message, I went ahead and ordered some (just two colours) from a website that carries a smaller range of colours (definitely not 70). It's a little pricey so I will wait and see what these two are like.

Maybe I tat too tightly. I've never dared to use it since.<br />I've seen the thread measuring things, but much bigger than yours - for wool. The little thread one looks very tactile.What a lovely gift!<br />One of the comments mentions Anchor Mercer - it's the very best thread of all, in my opinion, wonderful quality, and it doesn't split when I unpick! - but once again, I can no longer buy it here, and when it was available, it was terribly expensive. You should definitely try it.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02383223698959645624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6114660986925655424.post-22033589427966181382013-02-02T01:11:24.728+00:002013-02-02T01:11:24.728+00:00I received a thread yardage counter as a return gi...I received a thread yardage counter as a return gift from one of my blog giveaway winners.
