Awww, but he's so stinking cute, you can't possibly get mad at him for wanting to join in. I bet he'd be awesome at pulling stitches if you needed to do some re-work.

He does like to pull the needle for me when I'm stitching but then I can't get the needle off him

That is so cute! Albie looks like he's enjoying his new toy...I see new thread in your future

Albie thinks you should store the blue thread HERE, in his cage, near the back.

And only touch it when he says you may.

Oh absolutely, he's so funny. I had to chase him around the living room to get it back! And even then , I had to bribe him with an empty bobbin card (nutri Berry did not work! Safflower seed did not work! Pop corn did not work !)

I have a couple drawers full of wool tapestry thread if you’re short…

I bet Willow or Albie would love preening short lengths of tapestry thread.

Well considering he's been running of with my threads, it wouldn't surprise me !

Thank you for the kind offer , but I'm not sure what I'd do with tapestry wool as I use 6 strand embroidery thread

I thought it might be more color stable than embroidery thread or might wear better so I’ve gotten some canvases and done them with tapestry wool instead of floss.

I think tapestry wool wears better for projects that either have a low ct fabric (11,6,etc ) or for projects that get used more like cushions or blankets .

I work on 16ct or 18ct aida that i usually do 2 threads over 1 square and onmthe 18ct it can gey a bit bulky (I do have a huge piece of 28ct even weave coming tomorrow, the highest count I've ever bought,its a bit daunting really, i imagine itll either be 2 over 2 or 1 over 1,it depends on the pattern i guess )
