the silk rainbow!

Today, my vintage silk threads arrived.  Oh my goodness, what a colour feast for the eyes!  I spend a lot of time looking for vintage threads, but some of these colours I have never seen..... all together, to me, they just look so beautiful.  These are such an integral part of my work.  The modern threads just do not work alongside the vintage fabrics I use.  Finding just the right colours, can be extremely difficult.  These are also bigger than they look in the photos, being about 6cm long on the tubes, and 2cm diameter with the thread on.  These are a lovely find!
