Last year I decided to become a retailer for Aurifil threads. This was something I had dreamt of for some time as this very fine, long-staple, Egyptian cotton is not widely available in my area and I knew if I was having trouble finding it, others were too. That first order was pretty small.
I started out with a few different spools in various sizes, and weights.
As the support for my venture slowly grew, so did my thread stock. I added cones...
and metallics, in gold and silver:
Last fall, I had a request for a collection, so I brought in a few "Basics" (as in Mark Lipinski Basics)
These collections offer a great selection of colours at a fabulous saving over individual spools, so I ordered in a bunch more. You can see them all in my thread store.
I also carry empty cases to store your spools.
Primarily, the thread is available for purchase on my website, but I also have it with me at shows and workshops. If you are local or passing through the area, we can arrange for a pick-up to save on postage. Mrs Pugsley's Emporium very kindly allows me to leave ordered thread at her quilt shop for pick up there. Because I am a home-based business, my prices are very competitive (less than the online giant that begins with "C" - no $ exchange or import taxes to pay to get it across the border. That's all been done. :) Thank you for your support which allows my store - and my dream - to grow.
