..... and we're sorry it's been so long since we've been in touch!
But, although we've been out of touch, and part of the reason we've been out of touch, is that we've been really busy building a NEW STUDIO, creating some NEW COLOURS, adding some NEW PRODUCTS to the Colour Streams' range, building a NEW WEBSITE and planning NEW WORKSHOPS.
So here is THE NEWS!
Colour Streams' STUDIO!
We've built a great new studio in Pomona in the Noosa hinterland in Queensland. The studio is attached to our home, an 1890's schoolhouse, located at 34 Mountain Street, Pomona. Visitors are very welcome - please just phone or email first so we make sure we're of out of our PJs (07) 5485 0407 / 0400 344 794 or info@colourstreams.com.au).
Colour Streams' NEW COLOURS!
After speaking with many of you to discover the colours you'd like to see added to the Colour Streams' Collection, we've created:
These new colours are available in our Silk Threads - Silken Strands, Ophir, and Exotic Lights, our Silk Ribbons - 4mm and 7mm, our fabrics - Crinkle Silk Chiffon, Silk Habotai, Silk Organza, Silk/Rayon Velvet and Wool Felt. Blue Lagoon, Kookaburra and Autumn Shades are also available as Merino Wool Tops.
The new Colour Streams' colours are available through some retailers and our website.
Colour Streams' NEW PRODUCTS!
We love Japan and we love their silk embroidery threads, so we're thrilled to now offer a wonderful 3-stranded silk thread in over 60 colours that complement our Colour Streams' colour range beautifully. We've called the new thread Mume Strands. We're also offering a fine silk raffia thread we've named Shiruku. Both Mume Strands and Shirukuare available through our website.
You can now also search for single colours, for example, yellow, and find all the products that are yellow or have yellow in them, for example, Venetian Sunset, Straw, Meadow, Sequins, etc.
We encourage you to support the Retailers who stock Colour Streams' products, but you are able to purchase products through the Shop. We think the online Shop is really easy to use! A change from the old website is that prices now include GST and we've also added alternative payment methods to give you more flexibility.
Colour Streams' WORKSHOPS!
At our NEW STUDIO, we have space to run workshops! So keep an eye out for the details coming soon!
If you'd like to be kept informed about our products, colours, or workshops, simply subscribe to Colour Streams' Newsletter. We promise we won't pester you with too many!
We'd love to hear what you think about the new colours and website and also any suggestions for improvements, new colours, .....
Until next time!

Colour Streams are thrilled to announce the launch of our new cotton threads, Rana and Cotto Strands. Officially launching at the Australasian Embroidery Convention in Brisbane in late February, both threads are the highest quality Egyptian cotton that have been hand-dyed in Colour Stream’s unique colours. Rana and Cotto Strands are available to order now.
Rana is similar to Perle 8 and is a high twist, low lustre thread that is suitable for all embroidery and is excellent for hand quilting. The RRP price of Rana is $6.00.
Cotto Strands is a 6 stranded high twist, low lustre thread that is easily split. The RRP price of Cotto Strands is $ 6.00.
We're offering both Rana and Cotto Strands to ourncustomers, at an introductory price of $ 5.00 per skein. This price will be available until April 30 when the price will revert to $ 6.00 per skein.
The inaugural Australasian Embroidery Convention is being held at the Brisbane Convention Centre on February 21 - 23, 2020 with traditional and machine embroidery classes with international and local tutors. See all the details of the Convention at www.embroideryconvention.com.au
You’ll find Colour Streams at Stand 4 in the expo where retailers from across Australia will be selling all sorts of treasures!
We are so excited that Colour Streams is hosting the incredible textile artist Lorraine Turner on 15 – 16 August 2020. The 2-day workshop will be held on wonderful Macleay Island just off Brisbane in beautiful Moreton Bay. Given that August is during the annual whale migration along our eastern coast, we believe it is very fitting that the textile collage workshop will be creating this stunning humpback whale - Whale of a Good Time.
