Royal Blue is Beautiful

This was the first time I had ordered on-line from this particular vendor. I attend a Pine Needle Basket Class and normally purchase my thread at class. I was almost finished making my basket when I ran out of this colored thread. Order it and the dye lot was perfect. Arrived 2 days early.

High quality product. Color is even and does not fade. Waxing is stiff but not 'GUNKY'; virtually no wax residue builds up on your hands as you work with the products. Very durable, and ages nicely with wear.

I have ordered waxed poly cord from MaineThread a number of times. The shipping is fast, and returns (I ordered the wrong size) were processed quickly and courteously.
