Antique bead stitch markers

Antique bead stitch markers, re-purposed from a broken antique necklace. The five beads in each set are still attached to their original hanging wires. They have then been attached to small link ring and then to 6mm stitch marker ring. Both are silver coloured, lead and nickel free zinc alloy rings. Each bead in the set of 5 is a different colour and/or shape. Each set is hung on an a storage ring which unclips so that you if you use less than five in your project, your unused markers are still safely stored.

Antique bead stitch markers always lift my mood and look lovely when being used - as well as being incredibly useful! Using old, unwanted, but beautiful beads is my small contribution to keeping plastics out of landfill.
I aim to take care of our little planet in everything I do and my practices in Mille Rêves en Laine is no exception:

My raw materials, (wool, wool blends, charms and findings), are all sourced carefully: the animals are looked after with attention to animal welfare standards; the charms and findings I make my stitch markers from are always lead and nickel free, and purchased from small businesses.

My hand-dyeing process involves a lot of thought about the amount of water I use, so I rinse the yarn in a series of bowls of water, rather than water running over the yarn from an open tap.

I use the most eco-friendly professional-grade dyes I can find.

Only food-grade citric acid or white vinegar is used to fix the dye to the yarn.

My home studio here in France is never heated - I wrap up warmly on any cold days!

All of the water I use is re-cycled to water the garden.

The boxes you receive your purchase in are all made from recycled materials and are in turn re-cyclable.

Your happiness is a priority for me, so:

I do my utmost to take honest photographs which represent colours as closely as possible to the actual yarn colour in the listings, but please take into account that different monitors may show colours slightly differently.

I post parcels on the first working day after I receive your order.

I will always be open to discussions if you are unsatisfied with your purchase.

If you have a problem with your purchase, please email me at: millerevesenlaine@gmail.com with the subject as 'Product support' and I will do my utmost to help.
