The Mystery of Dye Lots and Thread Colors

Tricia Nguyen's latest blog posting is about the mysteries of dye lots and thread colors and thread numbers.

I found this utterly fascinating!

By the way, Stitcher's Paradise has a nice older article (Elaine Warner has died and Jay Paterson retired to his Lego obsession) about thread dye lots and how to plan to avoid disasters when threads bleed and run.

BREAKING NEWS: Stitchers Paradise in Miami Closes

Stitchers Paradise has closed! Rats! They were in the Doral section of Miami and I always planned to visit them when visiting family who live nearly.  But I've missed my chance as the owners want to retire and were unable to find a buyer for their business.

Their page about frames and stands was one of the best out there for folks who were in the market but didn't have a local shop where they could see them in person.  I am grateful that has been available over the years.  Many thanks and best wishes for a fun and fulfilling retirement!
