Dear customer, friend and colleague,

It's been a while since my last newsletter, but I always prefer to wait until I have something educational to share with you rather than just a listing of new items.

Plus I added a promotion for this week only with free shipping on domestic orders over $50 to help you stock up for the summer.

Have a great summer and thanks for subscribing to this newsletter! - Marion

C-Lon New Colors & New Spool Sizes

16 New Micro Colors

Since April this year, C-Lon has added 16 new Micro colors. Antique Brown, Argentum, Charcoal, Copper Rose, Eggplant, Green, Golden Yellow, Gunmetal, Latte, Medium Brown, Navy, Peacock, Silver, Turquoise, Vanilla, and XX (a color that was supposed to be Sepia, but is not. Its fate is undecided at this time. If it is returned to the factory, I have an open box and I do not plan to return it.) > Micro

New Micro Spool Sizes

$2.25 - NEW Spools 100 yd - 91 m
$5.25 - Original Spools 320 yd - 293 m

Switching to smaller spool sizes made it possible for C-Lon to add new colors. It will also be easier on our wallet all around to buy and invest in more colors as the new spools costs less than the original spools.

As C-Lon runs out of stock and restocks, all the colors will switch to the newer spools. Here is the list of colors now available in the 100 yd spools: Caribbean Blue, Gold, Grey, Oyster, Peridot, Rose, Sea Shell, and White. All of them are also available in the original spools until we run out of stock. Grey is only available in the new spool size.

C-Lon Fine Weight Bead Cord Tex 135

The fine weight size is also switching spool sizes and will be adding new colors soon.

$2.25 NEW Spools 50 yd - 46 m
$5.25 Original Spools 136 yd - 124 m

Colors available in the New Spools Size: Antique Brown, Argentum, Capri, Charcoal, Oyster, Sable, Teal, Turquoise, and White. We still have some stock of the larger spools in all these colors other than Turquoise. Turquoise is only available in the 50 yd spool. > C-Lon Fine Weight

Satin Cord - New Colors

More choices, more colors...

Two types of satin cord to choose from:

Both have their advantages and come in sizes from 1mm to 2.5mm in diameter.

A frequently asked question... I had done a post on this topic in 2010, one of my first reference posts, but it needed some revamping and visual aids. I hope you will find this post useful!

This post has a Guide for Needle Sizes and Types, plus photos of the Pull Along Needle and Thread Leader Method, and a full Step by Step Tutorial showing how to make a Self Needle with Beeswax. All with large photos.
