In Nhulunbuy there are very few places to get retail therapy. There are two supermarkets, a butcher, a bank, a newsagency, a hardware/homewares store and 3-4 places to buy clothes.
One shop is a bit like a variety store, mainly clothes, some homewares, some jewelery, an area for baby clothes and up the back there are sewing supplies. Net curtains, a few bolts of fabric, ribbons, notions etc... yesterday I saw that they had embroidery cottons YAY!! I bought a trio of colours; brown, mustard yellow and a light green. It is suprising how such a little thing can give so much joy!! Â
I noticed that the label on the brown thread indicates that it was made in W. Germany. Maybe they don't have a bit turnover of stock, but man, that's old.Â
I'm using one of my favourite hand dyed fabrics which fades from blue blue to a tan blue up the other end. I'll show a full shot when I've finished with the embroidery.
