Sad News for Thread Crocheters

I was so sorry to hear last week that Elmore Pisgah, who makes my favorite size 10 thread, America's Best has been sold to a company in Canada, and will probably be shutting down. Here is the story:

They have the best range of colors I have found, including some that I use all the time (# 55 Lt. Green!)
On the bright side, they are having an inventory reduction sale right now! Every thing except Peaches and Cream is 50 % off.

I am going to stock up on their wonderful thread while I still can, and hope that I will be able to find another source for size 10 thread in such a beautiful range of colors.
