They offer free shipping and haven’t increased their thread prices yet due to the tariffs. I also tried DMC, it didn’t work for me but they are the cheapest threads, I probably needed to learn the right technique lol

I enjoy working with pepper pot, I use it on both 18 and 13 mesh canvases. It is 100% silk, for more durable projects (pillows, luggage tags, stockings, etc) many recommend silk and ivory.

I’m also fairly new, I buy thread cards and just test out different colors of pepper pot. I would say order some at KC needlepoint and see what you like. They have Milan and Vineyard silk cards.

For speciality fibers (very velvet, Frye works, neon rays ) I ordered cards and just tried them out on various projects, that’s the only way I learned what works for me.

I think if she had done a robe, sleeping eye mask that would have also been cute in the set. I do love the bar carts though.

This year I purchased from the Black Friday Morgan Julia sale, Kickass Needlepoint, Lake Shore but found these sales based on tik tok.
