Not sure this is a tip as such, but John Lewis on Oxford Street (and possibly others but I only went to the Oxford St branch) currently are selling all Anchor embroidery thread & tapestry wool for 10p
a skein.
I may have bought 250 skeins today... ahem. There were still plenty left when I paid
Best wishes all

Can't get them here in France.
Hi Wendy,
Yes, I looked online too, but it looks like John Lewis only sell packs of their own embroidery threads.
I might be heading up town tomorrow anyway - if you wanted to DM me a list, I'd be happy to see if I could pick you some up!
Best wishes
Robin

That's so kind of you Robin. I have a full set plus extras of Anchor so I don't actually 'need' any at the moment....I was just envious of your good fortune.
Thank you for your generous offer though. Forum Buddies are
