Threads, fabrics, fibres, beads and sequins

Peter and Christine Silvester write: "Local embroiderers and textile artists will be pleased to know that Audlem Mill now has a good range of Experimental Packs by Stef Francis. These packs include a spectacular colour co-ordinated range of inspirational items such as threads, fabrics, fibres, and beads/sequins. Mouth watering to any embroiderer! The packs all have useful tips on the application of the pack contents, so even experienced embroiderers may learn something new.

"Also new in are Variety Packs prepared especially for Audlem Mill, with an assortment of mainly fancy yarns, typically including ribbon, glitter, chenille, mohair, loop, slub and boucle. Each pack contains 3m each of a minimum of 15 yarns of one colourway of yarns of different textures.

"Audlem Mill has many other products of interest to embroiderers, including the full range of BOTH Anchor and DMC stranded cottons, aida and other fabrics, and a superb range of kits, including cross stitch, candlewicking, needlepoint, crewel and stump work. Add to this haberdashery, tapestry wools, beads, decorative buttons, and lots of knitting wool, needles and patterns – the Mill is a real Aladdin's cave.

"Audlem Mill is currently open on Saturday and Sunday from 10.00 to 4.00, but will revert to seven day opening by mid March."
