The Threads
The Threads are a strange family of goblin seamstresses who all share a close tie of some wierd family bond. They are suspected to be in league with the RingMaster but its never been proven one way or the other. While Grandma Thread and Cleo Thread both own a tent, Sophia the youngest is a wandering merchant who only moves through the market when she feels like doing business.

Description
Grandma Thread is an old women with greying red hair and bright eyes. She looks like she could have been human once but now her age seems way too defined and part of her, the veins in her arms made of yarn and her hair is fine hemp. She always wears simple clothes and comfortable shoes. Her speech is blunt and always to the point but she is more polite to those she sees as polite or appreciative of her work.
(Wyrd 4, pres 3, hobgoblin)
Public knowlege
- Grandma Thread runs the most popular clothing tent in the goblin market and is known for high quality in everything she makes. Generally she will only accept things she can make into clothes though even if they are rather odd. Virtues seem to be her favorite items.
- She has a bad habit of smoking from a long pipe around her tent, the smoke attracts flies and such which make it annoying to be around her back wall
- Thread does not get along with her daughter Cleo who she will openly state is a shameless ingrate who wasted all her talent, this doesnt stop them from having tea on sundays
- Thread is a close supporter of the summer court despite goblin market rules about staying out of freehold business.
