Two new colors of canvas

I received two new colors of 9/10 oz canvas. Here's some pictures:














I know that the pictures look very similar but they aren't as close as the pictures would indicate. The picture on the left is called nutmeg and is a golden brown. Very pretty color. The next picture on the right is a color called gold. Both items are sold by the 1/2 yard.

There are a few other colors of canvas in the store: natural, khaki, navy, red, and black.

Mettler Metrolene news

This is for everyone who uses the Mettler Metrolene. There has been a name change. The fabulous thread is now called Seralene. As far as I can tell from the descriptions, it is the same product. So in the future, instead of having the Metrolene, I will be carrying the Seralene.
