Threadaholic Alert: Coloris UPDATED

Thanks to Mary Corbet's review, I know to keep my eyes open the next time I visit the big box crafts stores that carry DMC cotton flosses. DMC has a new line of overdyed cotton flosses called Coloris. They are very different than their original line of overdyed threads (Color Variations) which were more tone variations of a shade.  Here's what Mary has to say about Coloris.

Here is DMC's page on the old Color Variations colors.

UPDATE:  Mary talks about solid DMC cotton flosses that coordinate with the Coloris color range.
