 Transluent Thread Always in the top 3, and i am sure we all know why. This is a must have thread for any Goldworker, available is lots of different colours but the Honey is always the most popular, as it disappears against gold threads and wires. If you haven’t tried it you should, you can get yours here https://golden-hinde.co.uk/pro… |
 Passing thread 4 Who doesn’t like a bit of passing thread? Always one of the most popular threads we sell, this one is really versatile and available in both size 4 and 6 (in gold). Size 6 has become increasingly popular over the last 2 years, the size 6 is slightly thicker that the 4. Size 4 is also available in Silver and Copper. Did you know that we do a similar thread called 371 which is available in a variety of colours. and can be found here |
 Bright Check 6 One of my favourites, I love a bit of Bright Check, I think it is the sparkle that gets me. I love cutting it up and sewing the chips down. Bright check is one of the staple wires for Goldwork and is available in various sizes , 4, 6 and 8. Some of the sizes are also available in Silver and copper |
| Other big sellers for the month were T jap (in various sizes), 11’s plate, beeswax and Pearl purl. |
