Anyone else making things for Christmas fairs?

Does anyone know where you can buy ladder yarn ( making jewellery) from? It seems to have vanished.

This is jewellery making wire, not ladder yarn
www.beadsdirect.co.uk/stringing/wire

You probably can't get it because no-one mends ladders any more!
Remember dabbing them with nail varnish to stop them running?

the products are available from other outlets

Haha Jalima
Not those kind of ladders!
I will post a pic of it soon. Ladder yarn is soft ( not wire) but when knitted or crocheted makes beautiful necklaces that look like metallic beads but is soft and featherlight to wear.

Oh, sorry! I got the wrong idea. My MIL had a reel of nylon thread (unbreakable!) like a Sylko reel, which was specifically for mending ladders

I may still have it and was going to offer to send it to you if you can't find any

I was intrigued by the "ladder yarn" so went off a-Googling and found some, there's loads on Etsy:

Just go to www.etsy.co.uk and search away.

Oops, sorry it's www.etsy.com/uk/

Not knitting and not for a fair but I’ve just finished theses table centres.

Ginny that looks very attractive and difficult to do.

Thanks. Not difficult, it’s just squares.

I bought that red fabric last year ginny, it was in amongst a bundle of fat quarters from JL and I made bunting; the red was my favourite.

That looks very professional - and difficult!

ps the red fabric in the first picture - poinsettias.

Hi, I make silk scarves and accessories and a bit of feather jewellery that I put in my Folksy shop.

Ginny your table centres are lovely.
