As I contemplated a couple of quilt tops, I surveyed my thread collection and realised there are some gaps in my palette, particularly in the earth tones. Off to my local thread supplier, Althea’s Threads and Needles, and look what I came home with:
It may look extravagant but I purchased 45 spools for less than A$150. The business is clearing out excess stocks of Rasant for a very reasonable $3.30 per 1000 metre spool. They do mail order too!
2012 Update: This business no longer sells quilting threads.

There is nothing better than a rainbow of thread. Unless of course it’s a variegated thread!! Good price too.

Yummy thread. Very reasonable price. I don’t know Rasant, is it cotton, polyester or rayon? I don’t know if it is available in NZ. They look like nice big reels.
Helen says
Well I agree, stock up while its there… don’t see all that many earth tones though!!!
Brenda says
Rasant is a cotton thread with a poly-core. I find it to be a good all-purpose thread and, at this price, it is a great deal…
