Threadworx is making this Kreinik thread even better


The hand-dyed specialty thread company called Threadworx out of California has been transforming Kreinik's metallic Braids into variegated wonders for years. Now they are hand-dyeing Kreinik's fuzzy metallic threads, Micro Ice Chenille, in the most gorgeous colors.


Take a look at the photos and pick your favorite...we can't because we love them all. With names like Galactic Night, Seaweed, White Crystal and Ghost Gray, we're coming up with ideas already.



Micro Ice Chenille is one of Kreinik's fly fishing fibers, a staple for forming bodies on various fly fishing lures. Once needleworkers saw it, they knew it would make fun effects in embroidery, needlepoint, and cross stitch and it has been gaining popularity ever since.



You want to couch this thread in your needlework designs, rather than stitch in and out of the fabric with it. Simply couch with a matching color of Kreinik Very Fine #4 Braid, or have fun couching it with any thin metallic or non-metallic thread. You may create one-of-a-kind fiber art with your color combinations.


You can also crochet with Kreinik Micro Ice Chenille (makes great mini wreaths). Use it along with Kreinik Facets and the Kreinik Custom Corder to make trim—the Facets add the look of beads. So many applications for this fun thread, just get a few of your favorite colors and start experimenting.

Threadworx fibers are sold in needlework stores. Visit their website for more information. For the original line-up of Kreinik Micro Ice Chenille colors, visit the Kreinik website.

Meet the newest Kreinik color Sea Glass


By designer demand (aka, Associated Talents!) this gorgeous blue-green metallic thread color is debuting at Kreinik. Meet 096 Sea Glass, and we are making it 'round the clock right now.

We are making it in Fine #8 Braid first, which will be followed by production in your other favorite Kreinik metallic thread sizes: Tapestry #12 Braid, Very Fine #4 Braid, Medium #16 Braid, and 1/16" Ribbon. Give us a few months for full production, as we actually do make our own threads, but look for the new colors in needlework stores starting now. Retailers who attended the Destination Dallas trade show were first on the list. Help us spread the word now to other retailers and stitchers that there's a gorgeous new metallic color from Kreinik.

Speaking of Destination Dallas, the wholesale needlepoint trade show held in September of every year: we held the new color next to painted canvas designs and found it matches perfectly to something in just about every design line. Don at Associated Talents knew what we all needed when he suggested this color. Now we wonder how we ever lived this long without it!

A big thank-you to Needlepoint In Paradise in Florida who came up with the winning name.

Welcome Kreinik color 096 Sea Glass to your needlework fiber stash.

Farewell to this Kreinik color


We hate to discontinue colors, but sometimes it is necessary. Due to production issues, we have to discontinue one of our holographic colors: 031L Berry Red. Please make a note of it if you are using it in a project (stock up to make sure you have enough). This applies to all thread sizes, including Braids, Ribbons, Filament and Flash.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by stoppage or shortage in colors. Some good alternatives to 031L include the antiqued version, 153V Vintage Burgundy or 080HL Garnet Hi Lustre.
