Tapestry wool is thicker (4 ply compared to 2 for crewel) and can be used for weaving, stitching and needlepoint on 10 or 12 hpi canvas.Each skein is 10 meters.
More about Appletons: All our wool is British from sheep to needle – it comes from the Yorkshire wool markets and is also dyed and spun in Yorkshire. The furthest it travels is from Yorkshire to Buckinghamshire before being shipped to you.
Our packaging is, with the exception of the plastic bags we wrap the hanks in for cleanliness, recyclable and in the case of the outer boxes, almost invariably already on its second or third incarnation. We have disposed of plastic bags for skeins altogether.
If you need more thread than we have in stock, we can order for you!
