March Thread News!

Cindy's Thread Works Spring at Cindy's Thread Works

March has arrived, and with it comes that wonderful feeling that the world is slowly waking up again. The days are getting longer, projects are coming back out of drawers, and it feels like the perfect time to start something new.

Whether you’re stitching cozy handwork while it’s still chilly outside or planning bright spring projects, I’ve gathered a few things to inspire you this month.

Let’s dive in.

New in the Shop – Enchanted Elastics

Enchanted Elastics Enchanted Elastics

Cindy’s Thread Works has officially bought out Enchanted Elastics, and I have (almost!) finished uploading all of these beautiful and fun elastics to the website.

These solid and printed elastics are great for so many sewing projects. They’re perfect for your ByAnnie patterns that require elastic, and they also work wonderfully for:

• Hair elastics
• Notebook holders
• Bag making
• Sewing and craft projects

There are some really fun prints in this collection, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Because this was a buy-out, the amounts of each elastic vary quite a bit. Some spools only have about 1 metre left, while others have up to 90 metres remaining.

In many cases I had to estimate the amounts because I simply don’t have time to measure and rewind 300 spools of elastic.

If you need more than what the website currently allows you to purchase, just leave a note with your order or send me an email. I’m happy to measure the spool and let you know exactly how much is available.

*Also, I now have a supplier that can print elastics and ribbons. So if you need any custom ribbon or elastic for an event or team, feel free to contact me and I can give you more info.

For the month of March, all 40wt and Forty3 cones from Aurifil will be 10% off.

Aurifil Cones

Aurifil cones are an ideal solution for customers who sew frequently or work on larger-scale projects. Each cone offers extended yardage, allowing for:

  • Reduced spool changes and downtime
  • Consistent tension and smooth thread delivery

They are well suited for both domestic and longarm machines, supporting a wide variety of techniques including quilting, garment construction, and bag making.
