Hi Folks! We are still on appointment only Thursdays but we hope to be back to normal opening on August 6th (after the Festival of Quilts!).

It may also mean that there are slight delays on shipping orders - we are currently shipping only 2-3 times a week. If there are any substantial delays I will send those affected an email.

Paint-Box Threads

We are the home of beautiful artisan threads and fabrics; all hand dyed from our studio in the heart of the Herefordshire country side and beloved by many stitchers and artists worldwide.

Keep your eyes peeled for these beauties… I’m spending some much needed time on photographing and website updates this weeks.

If you are hoping to come and visit the studio today, please check your route carefully - most of the roads to us have flooded or have flood alerts on them.
