I had a very quick visit to Abakhan on Saturday and came back with a load of goodies as usual.
They sell bags of thread for £5.00. I bought two and they total about 190 reels!! One of the bags had 60+ reels of Coats Sylko Trilobal Polyester in various colours. Quite glossy so I assume it's embroidery thread, I will try it out when I get back from Amsterdam. Quite a lot of black and white polyester but that will always be used. Lots of Molnlycke 100% cotton from Sweden. Lots of something that looks like it's made in Poland but that's where my understanding of the wording ends lol I think I will be kept busy for a little while!!
