Just a quick heads up as we were asked if Jerry could turn some Couronne sticks. Some people know them as Hedebo sticks. So we decided to try some in the shop. They are not huge bulky things but are a bit thicker than a thick marker or fountain pen. This means they are a delight to use as they sit in the hand comfortably. They don’t dig in. I know I will be using mine more!
They have five steps ranging from 12mm to 5mm. Also since they are 5.5 inches (140mm) long they fit into any sewing box.
Our Couronne/Hedebo Sticks are handcrafted with care from the finest sustainably grown Australian and international plantation timber.
Check them out here in our shop.
Hi Sharon The second email has not come thru. I have had this problem with Hot mail before. I do have a gmail account that I use as well when this happens. It is strange as your two previous reply emails are coming through.
Hi Kerry just emailed you using your other email addy – and I edited your comment to hide email address from public publication
Hi Sharon I have just seen your post on the hedebo sticks.. Any luck with the “half shoes” as well ??
Just my luck!! I went to your shop and it says sold out ? If Jerry makes any more could you please put my name on one
Thanks
Hi Kerry I have taken an note about the hedebo sticks and the half shoes and sent you an email
Hi Sharon I’ve checked my boxes and don’t seem to have the email you sent except the one telling me you have ? sent one.. I’ll keep an eye out. Thanks Kerry
Kerry I just sent another email – check your spam box incase its going there
Dear Sharon
I would love one of these if you have more in the future….regards, Donna Gallagher
Donna I just emailed you – they will be in stock next week.
Hi Sharon. Would there be any chance of a half hedebo stick. That is – one rounded side and the other flat, ungrooved so it can be held flat against a project to make a 3D shape. I have seen them but cannot seem to find out where to get one. I want to use it for stump work and in my wool embroidery. Thanks
Thanks Sharon Kerry
Hi Sharon.We are on the same page.
I would definitely be interest if one comes available for sale. Thanks again. Kerry G
Ok we are working on a way that would make them viable and still nice to use.
Thanks Sharon
Hi Sharon, this is an intriguing tool. I spent a good hour or so online today, trying to finding information or a tutorial for making the rings, with no luck so far. In the meantime, it looks like your current stock sold out I’ll keep a look out for new stock. And also look forward to your tutorial whenever/if you can manage it. Thanks for all your wonderful, inspiring posts/newsletters. Little sparks of joy and uplift each time
Hi Ann I will announce it when we have more – Jerry is making some more in the next few days. I reall y must do a tutorial now!
Great to hear, Sharon. But no pressure … you know us hand crafters, we wait patiently and appreciatively our every new gizmo and tutorial
All in good time . Hoping all is well with you and yours xx
Thanks Ann!
I wanted to buy a hedebo stick but they are listed as out of stock already. Will you be making more and can I preorder please. Cheers Glenda
Hi Glenda yes we will make more and I will announce it here on Pintangle
Ok Sharon—I have never heard of these before—coirò e or hedebo sticks—can you explain what they are used for
What are these used for and how?
How do you use this?
Joy Brigitte and Laurie – you make freestanding rings with them that you can use in both traditional needlelace techniques and contemporary freeform techniques. When I have time I so a tutorial but basically you make rings with them I like combining the rings in my textual free form embroidery.
