About Fine Threads
Fine Threads is nestled in
the Green Mountains of Vermont, in the tiny village of Putnamville. We are only 6 miles from
Montpelier.
Fine Threads
carries a full line of bobbin lace, tatting and needlework supplies. Our
inventory includes pillows, bobbins, shuttles, threads and books. We also have
many items that are not listed on the website. Evelyn also does custom
lacework, check out our custom page for photos and details.
Visitors are welcome, however we do NOT have set
hours. It is best to call ahead to prevent disappointment.
Putnamville was first settled in the late 1700’s. Originally it was a mill town that developed
and made the world’s first spring-actuated clothes pin.
There are only 16 houses in our village. We border the Wrightsville
reservoir, where you can go kayaking or swim near a waterfall. We also bump up to state owned land that is home
to a small park and a disk golf course.
