 I recently recieved a mailing from them calling themselves The Conservation Consortium Ltd. and think this is a branch of the same business (also called Restore Products).  Anyway their address is  2 Talbot Road, Bowdon, Altrincham, Cheshire WA14 3JD, UK; Tel and Fax 0161 928 0020.  email: directory @conservationconsortium.com

Subject: "The Textile Restoration Studio"

I have been trying to trace down the firm "The textile conservation studio". They used to have such nice fine polyester thread in many, many beautiful colours! I confess, that it is years ago since I contacted them last, and now all my mail is sent back to me stamped "moved". Can somebody perhaps tell me, whether this firm still exists and where they moved?

 

Their address used to be:

 

The Textile Restoration Studio - Specialist Textile Conservation Supplies by Mail order

20 Hargreaves Road, Timperley, Altrincham, Cheshire WA15 7BB, Great Britain.

 

Or does someone know of a new source for the fine polyester thread (it was as fine as "restoration silk" and came in at least 30 different colours)? Of course in "small quantities", i.e. *not* 1'000 bobins of each 1'000 meters....

 

Thanks for any hints, Karin
