All this year I have used Caron's "Wildflowers" thread as a major component to each piece I've punched. Recently, I was wandering around my local needlework shop and realized that Caron makes two other threads -- "Waterlilies" and "Watercolours" and they come in the same color combinations as that of the "Wildflowers" thread.
"Rainforest"
"Waterlilies" is 12 ply silk thread - a bit pricey but who can resist? This thread comes from Italy but is handpainted in the US. "Watercolours" thread is 3 ply pima cotton, also handpainted. My beloved "Wildflowers" is hand-dyed cotton.
"Copper"
I love the fact that because they are each a different texture and hue I can use the same color name but achieve subtle effects.
Just looking at these laying here on my worktable makes my fingers itch to get creating.
