We’ve been diving through the archives of Needle ‘n Thread since September of 2025, using an A-B-C format to pick out various topics that I’ve covered on the blog over the 20 years I’ve been writing it.
This index will give you a place to find the links to all the A-B-C highlights from this series.
You can find the Index under Tips & Techniques in the main menu here on Needle ‘n Thread, and you can also bookmark the index for future easy access.
As the series continues to develop, I’ll add the new link to each new article in the series.

And eventually, I’ll also change this image! You would think, in all the stitching I’ve done over the years, I would have embroidered the letters A B C in some continuous, consistent way. But have I? Nooooo….
Here’s the list of articles in the series:
- A is for Ampersand!

Would like to know if you’ve ever come across embroidery floss made from bamboo? They make sheets and yarn from bamboo, but not embroidery floss? I haven’t come across any yet. Have you?
Yes Rainbow gallery has a bamboo line, and so does Classic Colorworks. I think the RG is called “Mandarin” floss or something like that?
