At Nutmeg Hare, needles are of utmost importance, hence one must have a variety of choices handy in the pincushion. These John James Sharps needles in the size 7 size have become my favorite for 2 strand embroidery thread stitching. From wool applique to lettering and embroidery, I love the length and eye size of these needles. Not to mention that they are of the finest quality English needle, plus with 20 needles per card, you can even misplace one or two and still be happy!

Oh how wonderful it is!!  Judith Baker Montano's embroidery and crazy quilt stitch tool book is now a part of my own" Must Have's" collection and because I love it so much, I wanted to share it with my Nutmeg Hare friends! It should belong in all our wool and stitching rooms as it is the perfect reference guide for hand needlework.  From flat, linked, cross, looped, floral and silk ribbon stitches, you will always find the perfect stitch for your project with the  more than 180 stitches and stitch combinations for hand embroidery, crazy quilting, and silk ribbon embroidery.. Beautifully illustrated in full color for both left & right hand stitchers,,,, and rather than laying flat on your table iit stands up on its own.  How nice is that! 

NEW!

This primitive orange shade of beautiful hand dyed cotton ric rac is not only ideal for embellishing your stitching projects, it was the perfect clothesline for "The House on Misty Moon Road" wool appliqué pattern.  Available as a 1 yard piece of 1/4" baby ric rac.

Look at these adorable little metal tins!....Perfect for that single ball of Perle cotton thread.  Keep it safe for on the go projects or store individual rolls and admire them through the clear lid topper ...OR ... be creative and store tiny little wool scraps and wool pennies or perhaps even pins.  Just another fun little storage idea from Nutmeg Hare for those precious threads and "needfuls"  that we all love!!

Thread not included.

MY FAVORITE LITTLE SCISSORS!

It's always scissor time at Nutmeg Hare!  What a great little pair these Fiskars 5" Micro-Tip scissors are.  Perfect for intricate detail cuts,  getting in those tight  spots,  and best of all  they cut all the way to the tip.  What did I ever do without them?  Well, no more need to ponder on that question as they are such a welcome addition to Nutmeg Hare's or for that matter any scissor collection!  High grade, precision-ground, stainless steel blades for long lasting sharpness. You will love them!
