I've finally run out of Drima extra strong thread - this is the last warp cobbled together from several spools. I am on nº 5 of my series of 9 tapestries in the as yet untitled series. Will show a photo of them soon.
I'll have some very exciting tapestry related news to announce shortly - watch this space!

I am intrigued.
I hope that you have found an acceptable replacement for the Drima. Sometimes being jolted into looking for a replacement for a staple can lead to interesting developments.
Have you tried barbours nylon bonded thread, they have something similar on Ebay that may suit your needs.
many thanks for your blog I really enjoy reading and looking at your weaving journey. Kind regards Barbara Cove
Barbara,
Thanks for your suggestion - I did look on ebay but blanched rather at the price - £6! I use a lot of warp - I usually buy 10 or 20 reels at a time so the Barbour thread would be way too expensive. I'm getting used to the Coats extra strong thread (£1.35 per reel!), I'd still prefer the Drima but hey ho...
Thanks for your comment!
