Beaded Silk
I now offer plied silk with SEQUINS, BEADS AND CRYSTALS!! 15/3 silk in solid colors or variegated, with your choice of embellishment. You may choose the color of the beads or sequins to make your own CUSTOM YARN (the crystals are only available in clear). Important Note-this yarn is only available on skeins. Knitters also note-these are 100 gram skeins (800 yards), not 50 gram. Price: ? I need to work this out. Let me know what you think.
Because of increasing international shipping costs I will be increasing prices 10% across the board on all silk, imported cotton, and linen yarns beginning May 1, 2012
Linen
Getting linen still remains a problem. I now have a source for linen on cones, still singles, I have asked for a price and I still don’t have a selling price set. My other supplier is very slow, but since he has to get this yarn from someone else I can not push him. It is challenging working with people half way across the world, (and in a different time zone), and only wanting small amounts. I had one supplier that I was working with to purchase silk/wood blends that will now not return my emails. I have suppliers emailing me everyday trying to sell me a 100 Kilos of something. Great prices but my pockets are not that deep.
Cotton
The 20/2 UKI mercerized cotton still remains at $16 a pound with no minimum, (Black, White & Natural still has a 5 cone minimum).
RAYON
Ok I need your help. I can purchase fancy rayon blended yarns (Artificial Silk) on skeins. Eye lash, Boucle, Loops, Fun fur and other novelties, (app110 yards per 100 grams) $40 Kilo, ($18 pound) white. This yarn can be dyed for $5 Kilo. These are the types of yarns that would look great as accent yarns in weaving, or could be used for knitting, crochet, etc. There is a possibility of selling 100 gram skeins, depending on the put up from my supplier. What do you think?
