Yarn, Accessories and Specialty Supplies at Linda's Electric Quilters
Beyond the quilting core, Linda's stocks specialty craft supplies — the light-tablet system itself is covered in the lamps and lighting guide, and portable studio gear in the Tutto case guide.
Lion Brand Yarn — Thick and Quick
Lion Brand's Thick and Quick is one of the most popular chunky yarn weights in the craft market — fast to work with on large needles, soft and drapey, and available in stunning colourways. Three colourways available at Linda's:
- Mountain Dawn — cool blue-green mountain tones; fresh and natural
- Desert Rose — warm rose-blush desert palette; romantic and earthy
- Arctic — cool icy tones; clean and modern
Thick and Quick works up extremely quickly — a basic throw can be completed in an afternoon. Perfect for the quilter who also knits or crochets, or for gifting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a quilt shop stock chunky yarn?
Because quilters are makers first — the arm-knit throw and the crocheted gift blanket live in the same evening-project space as a cuddle kit. Thick and Quick's afternoon-throw speed makes it the fibre equivalent of a fast quilt kit.
What pairs with a self-striping colourway like Mountain Dawn?
Nothing — that's the point: the multi-tone spinning does the colour work, so simple garter or single-crochet fabric shows it best. Complex stitch patterns fight the colour shifts and lose.
Why protect a light tablet with a dedicated tote?
The acrylic surface — a scratch across a light tablet shows in every traced design afterward, and class-and-retreat transport is where scratches happen. The fitted tote is cheap insurance on the studio's most delicate flat surface.
