Hi Sue and Margot,

You can certainly find the Oliver Twist threads in Wickham Market, at the Quilters Haven! Suffolk Lace Makers have a regular Lace Day at WM, and the hall goes silent and deserted at the lunchtime break, as everyone trundles off to Quilters Haven, and returns laden with goodie bags. I have bought several 'sets' of colours there - they have a website, and sell mailorder, but the sets of different graded colours are lovely, and save a lot of hard work and graft trying to pick out matching and contrasting shades!

So - if all else fails, try the Quilters Haven web site ...

They should be easier to find in the UK than anywhere else, since they come from England :D I've bought them at the Knitting and Stitching Show in London and they're beautiful threads.

We have a lace day on March 7th in Norwich so maybe I will have to look out for Oliver thread there as it is a new one to me or maybe not too common in the UK?
