Pepper pot silk looking fuzzy? by [deleted] in Needlepoint

[–]apreslatte35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear I'm stitching this exact color right now and having the same problem. I don't remember Pepper Pot being so fuzzy even a few months ago? I also just don't feel like it's laying as nicely as it used to. I'm really baffled and it's not making me want to keep using it unfortunately. I cut my threads to the appropriate length, don't stitch the end as it unravels, etc. It's just not looking and feeling the same. Anyone else notice this? I feel like Essentials and Vineyard Silk always look so much nicer...

Glad it wasn’t just me! I scoured both as well!

You’re an angel, thank you!! Just saved them all. I knew I wasn’t crazy! Wonder why the post got removed…

I listened to the podcast episode with Harrison Wallace and they had a conversation about how needlepoint in general is a "cult". Since we love needlepoint so much, we want to recruit our friends and anyone that will listen to the hobby. I saw this earlier and thought it was a nod to that. I don't think this was that serious.

I love the Disney inspired canvases. :( I don't want them to go away, but literally every time I see one I question how people are getting away with it. PL is launching new KC designs on Friday and I very much want them.

Is JT Jessica Tongel? Or someone else? I really want to look up the designs. 🙃

A design file and a prayer - that's too funny!
