maggie's version of a BLOG

This picture was taken at the sereiculture farm at Hachioji, Japan in the southwest section of the Tokyo Prefecture.

As you can see, our new found friends from the Tama Group were bidding us farewell, after our' silk experience day' at the farm. There we were able to see the active silk worms in this very building, busy devouring the mulberry leaves. We made 'floss silk' squares and actually reeled the tiny fibers from the cocoons, and made strands of filament silk thread. Talk about an exciting adventure.We wish everyone could have joined us.

Two new friends we meet on our trip to Japan in May, 2007

Price Adjusting 2009

The more recent drop of the Japanese yen and higher freight costs mean we have had to increase prices on some of our silk thread products. Keeping high quality products available to you quickly, is always our goal as a fiber business.

New developments for the Colohue Dyes:

Fred and I have decided it is time to downsize the THINGS JAPANESE business offerings, in the next few months. THINGS JAPANESE will contintue to import, market and distribute the TIRE line of silk thread.

I will carry on my role as the coordinator of The Silk Experience teachers's consortium. I will also continue to organize/promote The Silk Experience teachers's consortium. I will also continue to produce, promote and market the Silk Experience series of CD's.

However, we are transfering the marketing of the COLORHUE dyes to our good friend and business colleque, Ginny Eckley. WE can ssure you that Ginny can meet your ned for the COLORHUE products promptly and efficietnly. We request that you contact her for your next order of the dyes.

Fred and I look forward to continuing to work with all of our customers and feel free to contact us if you hav euqesions or concernd. Silk is stil 'queen' in our book.
