Snippet Roll Spool

• Vintage wooden thread spool with one metre of antique French linen sheet hem.
• Perfect for making a snippet roll: simply unpick the hand-sewn hem, embroider on the top half and re-hem after embroidering.
• A lovely present for a friend who likes to stitch.

I use antique linen sheets for my embroidery kits, and consequently have a large supply of beautiful hems, often decorated with drawn-thread work, as here, perfect for snippet rolls, slow-stitching projects or even for recording precious fragments of lace or fabric which pass through your workroom.
