	Choose from 2000 colours of thread for hand stitching, including multicoloured threads, metallics and wools, ready for worldwide delivery from our UK store. Here you can view the full shade cards for each yarn - very handy when you want to see colours arranged into families. This is useful if you are selecting several shades for a project and want to make sure that they will look good together. Sewing with Metallic Thread Crafty Tip The use of metallic threads can add an exciting new dimension to your hand stitching. But they can be prone to fraying, which can easily get you into a tangle and spoil the appearance of the completed piece. A simple way to reduce this is to use shorter lengths of thread – no more than 12 inches. This reduces the friction to which the thread is subjected, as it is pulled through the fabric again and again.

Sewing with Metallic Thread Crafty Tip When using metallic thread, it is always wise to use a needle made especially for embroidering with metallic thread. These needles have a larger eye and are designed not to fray or pull thread. It also helps to slow down the speed of your machine slightly. This can help you avoid thread breaks and loops.

Lambs Ears Yarn
	Kelly offers a selection of hand spun Shetland wool and dyed wool roving perfect for needle felting or spinning into your own yarn. She offers aran, heavy worsted and worsted weights of natural handspun. Knitting Crafty Tip Plastic, aluminum, bamboo...so many choices, which one is best? Most of the time it depends on your project and your experience. For beginner knitters I suggest bamboo or plastic. They have a bit more grab than the aluminum, making it so you don't loose your stitches quite so easily. Aluminum or steel needles are fantastic once you become comfortable and want to really zoom with your knitting. Aluminum knitting needles are colder, however; so you won't like them if you have cold or arthritic hands. Over time, you will develop a preference. I started out with aluminum knitting needles and that was all I would buy, until I tried wooden ones and bamboo. Now, I save my aluminum ones in case of an emergency-you know-when you have lost one of your knitting needles!

Don't try to knit it straight from the hank or you'll end up with a tangled mess. Instead, take a few minutes and wind the hank into a ball. Open the hank. Place the hank around your knees or around the back of a chair. Carefully cut the ties that hold the hank together. Begin winding the hank into a ball. Once wound, you're ready to start knitting! Enjoy :)
