Hello all,

At the moment I am working on a wool embroidered wall hanging from the
first part of the 20th century. The 2-ply wool yarns are of a fine
quality and remind me of the yarns used for knitting and mending woollen
socks. Does anyone know where this kind of wool can be pur chased in a
wide range of colours, preferable in Europe?

with regards,
Jeannette Huy
Textile Conservator
