and where i work, this every other Monday,  is a weaver.  She weaves very delicate silk things.  A while back she'd given me some thread scraps that she wasn't going to use and i am running out.  I  can see the cones they came from but can't navigate the website to actually Order some.  If there is anyone out here who can help me out,  i'd appreciate it Enormously

what the cone looks like

this should do it.  but whenever i try to find this on their website,  no dice.    This color and then a Light Camel,  i can use over and over pretty much anywhere and it's wonder FULL to stitche with.  Works with almost everything and saves me on the embroidery floss.  Hoping someone will KNOW.

and many thread beads.  Many more needed.   But outside that mystery scrap on top left,  it's done.

ANOTHER FINE DAY FOR TAY.

    I looked on the ColourMart website, and got to a page listing their silks, it says out of stock. Why not email them and tell them what you’re wanting, then they can let you know when they have what you want, or similar if the other is discontinued, perhaps your weaver woman bought it a while ago. I love their address, Featherbed Lane.
    Good to hear you and Tay are having fine days, these doggy things take time.

    I too spent some time on the ColourMart website to no avail. Used every combination of info on their search window, nada. Went through all 15 pages and the only thing remotely close was found on pg. 9 but it was not a cone of thread and not all silk. However it was a good neutral color of cotton/silk:
    2/60NM cotton/silk 50/50 b3104 (box 3)
    Length: 5000 Yards.
    Net Weight: 150 Grams
    Item price and postage $20.00.
    They have 7 left.

    Hi Grace ~ happened to pop by here this evening & decided to sleuth a little bit myself on their website. I think I was able to find one of the items you are looking for by keying in the search words “grey sage”. Check this search page, scroll to the very bottom … the one?
    http://colourmart.com/eng/content/advancedsearch/yarns?SearchText=grey+sage
    BUT, unfortunately, it appears they are not selling ANY of these silks at the moment. This item description is probably from their product archives. I hope they write back to you with current info on availability for this is truly an excellent price for an extremely nice product. All best to you!

    Hi Grace, I checked for your yarn as well, all the cobwebs silks range of which this is one seem sold out. A similar range is available from Handweavers gallery in the uk and also Texere yarns but much more expensive. I’m sure you can get it over there somewhere.
