Dinky Dyes Go Live UPDATED

Needle in a Haystack has added new threads to their online catalogue, including Dinky Dyes' silk perle, their silk floss and their silk ribbons.  Good news for fans of this thread, which is now based in Houston instead of Australia.

UPDATE:  Janet Perry reports that Dinky Dyes are going to be sold and the manufacturing moved to Nevada.  This means there may be dye lot changes as a different climate and water do effect dyeing, so if you need a lot of one dye lot, now is the time to buy.
