Gold Plated Needles
Our
gold plated needles have been voted the best in the business for many years
so it seemed like a
good time to tell you more. During 1987, the family visited the USA and I explored American cross stitch shops.
It was then that I was introduced
to gold plated needles and I must be honest, I thought it was all bunkum! You
can imagine how surprised I was when after stitching with a good quality gold
plated needle for an evening, I was completely hooked and it was then that I hit the brick wall – no-one in the UK had gold plated
needles!
After an afternoon on the
telephone, I found a company prepared to gold plate one thousand size 24 tapestry needles. It was at this point that I made the most
important business decision I was ever to make. I was asked how much gold I
wanted on each needle – I had simply no idea what to say and mumbled something
about the gold not wearing off and he said “British Nuclear Fuels and the
Ministry of Defence have 2 microns- that should be plenty!” I agreed and the
rest is history.
I did ask why the MOD used gold and he said it was
for the detonators on grenades!
