The A-Z series of needlework books is by far the best and most thorough series of needlework books on the market. They’re published by Country Bumpkin in Australia, and they cover a terrific range of needlework – all kinds of embroidery techniques, as well as sewing, knitting, crochet, and quilting.
The A-Z needlework books usually run about $33 US per book, a price that is somewhat steep, especially considering that they’re rarely available through discount outlets like Amazon. On the other hand, I have to admit that, for certain books in the series, I think the price tag is worth it. The A-Z of Goldwork, for example, is a must-have for anyone interested in metal thread embroidery.
Well, there’s a good deal going at Wooly Thread right now on some excellent A-Z books, specifically:
A-Z of Stumpwork
A-Z of Wool Embroidery
A-Z of Embroidery Stitches 2
A-Z of Threadpainting
A-Z of Embroidered Flowers
Right now, through Wooly Thread, you can order any of the above for just $15. If you’re interested in knitting, the paperback copy of A-Z of Knitting is available for $18.
Of the A-Z books listed above, the only ones I can’t vouch for through personal experience are Embroidered Flowers and Knitting. The rest are in my library, and I have referred to them innumerable times – they are excellent! Based on the quality of all the A-Z books, though, I’m sure these two are equally as good.
So, hurry on over to Wooly Thread to build your stitching library with these good deals, while the sale’s on!
Thanks for the information; I ordered the Embroidery Stitches 2 which I had been coveting!
I didn't know there was an Embroidery Stitches two book. Am so excited! And did you notice they have a couple of rare Inspirations magazines on sale for only $8.00 each (and they go for up to $60 on the Country Bumpkin site)? Am so glad I checked out the site. THANKS!
I have seen a couple of these titles in my fav book store; but usual story – no money at the moment.
It's amazing how another mouth to feed can severely dent the personal spending budget – esp when he's a man mountain.
Hi All!. I'm Jan from the Wooly Thread. I knew something was up when I suddenly had a huge number of orders for these books. When I found out you were all from Needle N Thread, I just had to come over here for a visit. Thanks for visiting my site. It was good getting to know some of you.
