Archeys Frog Kit
Archey’s Frog is native to New Zealand and is found in a small area near Coromandel in the North Island. Native frogs are quite different to introduced species – they have no external eardrum, no webbing between their toes and the pupil of each eye is circular rather than a slit. The male of this species of frog raises the young. The Maori name for frog is Pepeke.

Benton & Johnson Japan Copper T70, T71 and T72
Japanese thread is a goldwork thread made of a cotton core wrapped with a strip of metal foil. This means that is is quite soft and easy to manipulate while stitching and has a lovely shine.
‘Japanese thread’ is used widely in goldwork all over the world, notably China, India and Britain as well as Japan. Like all our metal threads, it is made by Benton and Johnson in the UK.
Use Japanese thread by couching over it (usually in pairs for a smooth line, but singly if you prefer). Use either a matching or contrasting sewing thread with a coating of beeswax.
In this range the colours are burnished which have a matte surface and an antique appearance. The Japanese threads are synthetic and will not tarnish.
Imitation Japanese Threads in this range are available from No. 8 (K4) which is the smallest to No. 13 (K1) which is the largest.
