Metallic thread
This thread can be used to great effect alongside stranded cotton to highlight parts of a design. It is available in typical metallic colours - for example, gold, silver, or bronze - and is available as a stranded skein or on a reel.

Mount board
This is the best material to use when stretching your stitching ready to put in a frame. It consists of a strong card and is best used with the white side facing up. Ask your framer for acid-free mount board to protect your stitching from becoming stained over time. |
