Spotlight on Pepper Pot Silk

Posted by on Sep 15, 2023 in Blog | 0 comments

 

Pepper Pot Silk has long been beloved among needlepointers for its beauty, versatility, and wide, generous array of lustrous colors. 

A single strand composed of 3 thin plies of 100% silk, Pepper Pot Silk’s palette covers 266 colors including solid and variegated hues. Pepper Pot Silk is designed for 18 mesh; however, it works equally as well on 13 and 14 mesh. 

Needlepointers often note that Pepper Pot Silk glides effortlessly through canvas, does not pill, offers full coverage and creates beautiful, silky smooth stitches with a vibrant sheen.

Have you stitched with Milan yet?

Earlier this summer, we introduced a new single-strand thread to the Planet Earth Fiber family. Composed of 50% merino wool and 50% silk, Milan exudes a glossy, lustrous sheen and feels incredibly soft.

Available in 30-yard skeins, you can expect Milan to cover approximately 21-square inches on 13 mesh when using the basketweave stitch. However, Milan is suitable for both 13 and 18 count mesh. 

Milan is available in 240 colors that cover a wide spectrum of hues, from delicate pastels to vivid brights, bold neons, elegant neutrals, and radiant jewel tones. Finding the perfect color of Milan is an easy—and enjoyable!—experience.

The mixture of silk and wool means Milan glides effortlessly through canvas and creates truly beautiful stitchwork. Charmed by Needlepoint used Milan in White, Sugar Plum, Shaved Ice, Shoot, Whipped Butter, and Lady Slipper to fill in the background of the canvas below. Notice the gleam?

Sneak Peek at the Atlanta Spring Needlepoint Show

Posted by on Mar 22, 2023 in Needlepoint Fiber | 0 comments


Last weekend we had the pleasure of attending the Atlanta Spring Needlepoint Show in Atlanta, Georgia. We look forward to attending the show every year with a lot of anticipation and excitement. It’s such a great opportunity to connect with friends and the Planet Earth Fiber extended needlepoint family. But, we know that not everyone has the chance to attend, especially as it’s a wholesale trade show. That leaves out a lot of our fans! So today we wanted to share a little sneak peek at some of the fun products we saw. First, here are a few products we brought to the show that went really quickly. If you see a Planet Earth Fiber product you love here, don’t forget to talk to your LNS. They might have the product in stock, or may be able to request it from us. Find your Local Needlepoint Shop here.A selection of leather wallets featuring contrasting butterfly design
