It’s Kreinik Calling! where Dena Lenham from Kreinik Manufacturing Company shares inspiration and innovation with threads!
It’s Monday; got the blues? Are you back to work after a fun weekend, maybe looking at a beautiful blue sky…through the windows of your office? Well, let me show you some blues that will lift your spirits. They’re threads. I call them The Blue Thread Group. They will amaze your friends, inspire your creativity and leave you energized, or at least give you a moment of serenity on a Monday morning. (Just looking at pretty threads is a mood-booster, so imagine the lift they can give to your stitchery…)
Here at thread maker Kreinik Manufacturing Company, we try to make thread colors that will help stitchers recreate images from real life, and many of our colors come from designers requesting certain shades. We may have 25 different blues, but there are always requests for “a blue with more green in it,” or “blue with less green,” sometimes “more of a country blue,” or “denim blue but with a touch of aqua,” etc. It’s a challenge, but also rather fun, to come up with the right shades for the creative market. If you ever have requests for new thread colors, contact me (@Kreinikgirl on Twitter, or dlenham at kreinik dot com).
