Color
All photos were taken in natural light. Appearance of color may vary slightly under different light, and on various computer monitors. Color can also vary depending on the thickness of thread. If you’d like to see our colors first-hand, email jennifer@mainethread.com to request a complimentary color/size card.

.020” - Size 3
.030” - Size 2
.035” - Size 1
.040” - Size 0
