We are so thrilled to have some new sets of Linladan’s wonderful 100% linen thread! You might remember the beautiful Nordiska vintage threads we had a few weeks ago from Tanja of Linladan in Sweden. This thread is Lyster linen and is the same weight as the vintage linen threads. Each box has two kinds of the Lyster linen threads.
