Threads... this means hand ...Love your finishes :)<br /><br />Threads... this means hand dyed... nobody can dye exactly the same shades, only the manufactures (like DMC) can do. Hand dyeing is harder, slower, and means smaller lots. I love hand dyed fibers, no matter if sometimes the same name doesn't means exactly the same shade of colors :)<br />And, the company of paint makers also can't do the same paints, I discovered on those I'm using :)Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04319512582449590842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12317509.post-26302695369229954202011-01-26T09:03:56.307-08:002011-01-26T09:03:56.307-08:00I can tell the difference in thread colors, defini...I can tell the difference in thread colors, definitely.

I thought it might end up being the same color with a different intensity but it's totally different. I like the new version of Snow Garden.

It would be nice to be able to pick them out myself sometimes. They just come in SO SO SO different sometimes it makes you nuts.

I think that is a smart plan to save your personalization until the end, too. And I thought the hunk of fabric for CatHRH was big! Gosh, Valerie--how do you handle that gigantic piece of linen? What is the size of it anyway?<br /><br />I've had the same problems with dye lots on overdyeds--they look like two totally different colors!
