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 and dye lots. If you’d like to see our colors first-hand, email jennifer@mainethread.com to request a complimentary sample card.

The first Maine thread I used

I purchased a spool of this thread from Tandy, because they didn't have tiger thread in the color I wanted. I'm so glad I did because I much prefer this brand. The .02" thread is a little thinner than .6mm. It's tightly braided and doesn't fray. My spool of spruce isn't as heavily waxed, but that's fine--I just run it through a bar of beeswax before I stitch (better too little than too much). The photo doesn't do the color justice; it's a rich, beautifully saturated dark green.
