Does anyone know where my wife can get DMC or Anchor cotton so she can finish off the crossstich she is doing? We live in Bahceli, if there is anywhere between here and Girne, or Girne itself, that would be helpful.

There is little shop just along from the ING bank in Girne, amasing what he has got , speaks English, can't remember if it's before or after the ING , but it's either between the crossroads and ING or passed the ING but before the Taxi rank,

hawkeye. I was going to suggest that one, I bring things from there back to the UK for my grandaughter, more choice there and cheaper.

Mum used to do lots of crossstitch but thanks to cataracts and arthritis she can't manage it any more so she's willing to donate any she still has at home. My husband will be coming back from UK next week and will bring them with him. If I can have a telephone number I'll call you when he returns and arrange a time and place to drop them off to you. Mum will be pleased they're going to a good home
