Borduurparadijs

Don't you just love it when something turns up unexpectedly
in the post and it's not even your birthday?

Just recently I received a small, soft package from the Netherlands
which to my delight contained samples of beautiful silk
threads for me to experiment with.

My unknown benefactress is a lady called Joke Trebbe who is the

power behind the throne of Borduurparadijs.  They dye all the threads

themselves and have a range of colours that would make a rainbow

seem lacking.

Let me tell you more - they ship worldwide, payment is via PayPal

and although they usually only make small skeins large hanks can be

ordered which is just perfect for a project such as Death by Cross Stitch.

Joke's shop Borduurparadijs in Velp was founded in 2007 but she's been

in the business over 30 years so has a wealth of experience to call

upon should you be in need of some friendly advice.

Why not have a look at the website where you can see the whole range

of threads and products available and where the photos are far better

than my wobbly images here.
