At first, Julius Koch is Danish company (not Germany). They have centers and factories in Germany and Ukraine. ( http://www.juliuskoch.com/aboutus/organisation.php , http://www.juliuskoch.com/aboutus/management.php) Also sales offices in Italy and China (http://www.juliuskoch.com/contact/sales-offices.php)

I called to Ukrainian office today, to ask them about Ritza25 for sale. But answer was denial. They don't sale this type at all. Just produce. (to export)

So I had a question (rhetorical): FOR WHOM they produce it? Two factories in Germany and Ukraine export to all over the world, but so hard to find it and buy...

Yeah, I know them, thanks:)

I've posted that for fuller description of the situation.

Electrathon, I would be interested in a spool of white or cream thread. Depending on how soon it is, might be able to get a roll of med brown as well. Can send money through PayPal.

HI all,

Having obtained some 50m pieces thru Etsy, I would also be interested in 4 or 5 spools, to last me a while! Electrathon, if you haven't ordered yet, please count me in. I live in Toronto, Canada, and was thinking of ordering some Dixon Pricking irons as well.

best regards,

mg

As a note, we've put in an order with the factory for a batch of their thread in white and black for the Michigan City show. 1.0 and 0.8mm in 500m spools, should arrive sometime in February, and we can also order any of the other colors from Abbey England if need be.

I recently ordered a few different colors 50m of the 1mm on Etsy from Leather Wurx.

There's a shop here in Denmark that had some rolls of tiger thread in stock last time I was there. I'll gladly check if they still stock it and try to find out more about this - apparently Danish - company, Julius Koch .

I'm not a fan of tiger thread myself. I prefer linen. However from experience I think Ronso thread (from the us) stitches very similar to tiger thread.

• I live in the uk near Abbey,, and I have Ritza here. I am happy to sell small amounts and post it to you. Let me look into how much an airmail letter is, and how much I could wind around a piece of card to fit into it .

Is your offer to purchase some of the Tiger thread and send it to the US still open? If so, I need 1 each of tan and dark brown if available. 50 meters (+/-) would be fine. Bill
