Hi Patty, When I dyed perle cotton I bought it from our wholesale supplier Brewer Sewing Supplies. One needs to have a sales license from the state to buy wholesale from them. Later on we started buying huge cones from a mill in South Carolina, and then had it wound into skeins for us by Testfabrics, very huge amounts. It is still pretty cheap to buy balls of perle cotton from craft, fabric or needlework shops. Having done this for resale in the past, it is not worth the effort, believe me. Just order it predyed from Valdani.com or now you can get it from DMC. Best Wishes, Melody
I am the youngest of four girls. I grew up on a farm farm in Northern Illinois. My parents worked as farmers and our farm was in the von Ohlen family for nearly one hundred years.
It is fair to say I'd rather ride my pony than anything else.
I am blessed with two wonderful children, Sean and Kari and a very special little Grandaughter, Grace. I also have a wonderful son in law - Josh who loves Kari very much.
I love life, laughter and good friends.
I try to be to others the friend I myself would like to have.
My creative juices flow from time to time and when I'm sitting at my sewing machine, I find great piece!! :) Maybe that should have said pieces. Nothing makes me happier than working on a special project.
