Welcome to Fabric and Thread

Zweigart Fabrics

I have visited the Zweigart factory in Sindelfingen on many occasions and have always been very impressed with the manufacture of the fabric and the quality control that takes place from the arrival of the raw thread at one end and the completed fabric at the other.

I have been using Zweigart fabric as my preferred choice for many years – I feel that it is so important that you use the best quality fabric when you plan to work for many hours on a project.

Thread Collections

Like all stitchers, I collect lovely threads and enjoy combining stranded cotton (floss) with other yarns. There are quite literally hundreds of threads available to the counted stitcher and I could not stock them all but will look forward to supplying lovely collections on an occasional basis.

I have visited the Danish Handcraft Guild a number of times and I know that you will love their special Flower Thread. Flower Thread is a single ply matt thread absolutely ideal for cross stitch on linen or aida.

Tree of Life Hussif

I made these Hussifs after buying a small Victorian one at a boot sale! The linen is 28-count Danish evenweave. It has been folded, and the Hussif constructed, so that you can stitch all the sections without showing the back of the stitching. Each kit comes with the complete Hussif and a colour chart for the Tree of Life pattern as shown in the picture, although you could decorate the Hussif with any counted motifs. 25.5 x 60cm (10 x 23.5in)
