Wherever possible, we list color names for the threads. Sometimes, however, even with a name, it can be challenging to imagine the color of a particular thread. To help you to make the best thread color choices for your needlework, Thread Color Cards are available for many threads. Unless otherwise indicated, all of our Color Cards are made with actual thread samples of the colors currently available for a thread. They are an excellent reference to help you select colors for your next project. New color cards are always being developed. If you do not see one listed for your favorite thread please ask.
