Re: [lace] Oliver Twist threads

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.

Thanks to all who responded to my Oliver thread question I am going to play 
around with some threads out of my stash that Brenda recommended and see what 
comes up best. 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?
