3/8" TRIM COLOR CHART  
 

NEW TRIM FOR HOLIDAY FINISHING

Kreinik's new 3/8" Trim is now available in RED and GREEN colors. This trim is perfect for edging your stand-ups, stockings, ornaments and other needlework finishing. However, it's more than just trim you can also crochet, knit, bead and make jewelry with it. Now available in 14 colors, wired or unwired versions. Get it in 1-meter packages, or buy the trim on cones (10m+) for finishing big projects. Available in needlework stores.

SILK GAUZE

Kreinik has just received an ample supply of 100% pure silk gauze™ including a new size for needlepoint, dollhouse designs, miniature samplers, jewelry and more. Choose silk gauze by the yard, half-yard, 1/4-yard increments, or buy framed silk gauze that comes with a needle and mounted in an acid-free, sturdy mat (ready-to-stitch). Silk gauze sizes now available: 40-count, 30-count and NEW 20-count.

 

GLOW-IN-THE-DARK COLORS FOR HALLOWEEN

Kreinik's glow-in-the-dark colors are good for things like a cat's eyes, owl eyes, ghosts, lit pumpkins, candle flames, moonlight, stars, stitched streetlamps, meteors, fireworks...anything that naturally "glows" in real life. Use a single or double strand of Blending Filament top-stitched over the area (already stitched in cotton) where you want the glow to appear, or use #4 or #8 Braid by itself for a more prominent glow. The glow will last for 15 minutes or so after being exposed to light.
