Carol and Brian have been on another visit to West Yorkshire with a car stuffed full of silk and equipment.

While Carol has been teaching us how to handle Superfine Silk, Brian has been providing the musical accompaniment.

At Paint Box Textiles we are used to dyeing a very wide range of textiles, including silk, but handling this beautiful fine silk is new to us. Luckily Carol is a good and methodical teacher.

Now all we have to do is to sort out the thousands of spools of silk that we have bought from Langley Threads and dye some of the colours where stocks are low.
