Question about thread

[goodtaste]

Hi Everyone! Can anyone tell me if they have a source where I can buy ·10 crochet thread in colors that have also golden or silver threads in it? I can buy gold on gold and silver on silver from Aunt Lydia's but I've seen in foreign crochet sites other colors, like for example brown with gold and others, does anyone know where to buy such thread? I know in Brazil they sell beautiful metallic threads, but I don't have any way to purchase those.

 

Thank you for your help!

Can't answer your question directly, but you can buy silver, copper, or gold sewing thread. Then pick the thread color of your choice and work with both at the same time.

This (http://www.crochetaustralia.com.au/prod3994.htm) is where I get my metallic wrapped thread. They do ship to the US, but you would need to confirm whether the price was too much for you or not. I have not tried this brand yet, as I have been using the finer size 50/30 Altin Basak thread...

I don't know how they are with International orders, but they are fantastic on domestic Australian orders...

 

Information on International pricing and shipping is under the "Ordering" tab in the centre of the menubar above the product information...

 

 

Also, some USA sites (I have no information on what these sites are like customer-service-wise... I just googled "metallic size 10 cotton" and these were some of the results...):
