Just a quick update on Spring Hare with the alphabet stitched in the OLD version of Sable #110, that I was lucky to find in a design I had kitted up long ago!
It's really looking nice! I'm happy at this point. By the way, I did forward photos and an explanation to the floss company via facebook. A very nice man responded and said they had changed dye companies etc. over time and that " With that kind of changes there is a reasonable expectation that there might be some differences."
Probably not the response I would have given, but I'll leave it there.
Anyways, as I said before, that is a definite problem when purchasing hand dyed floss. If you can't get to stitching the pattern right away, and you want to use the dyed floss, you best get all of it you can, because there's no going back!
Until next time,

I really like that bit of pink in the flowers. Glad you were able to find a Sable in your stash. At least you received a response from them. Happy May!
ReplyDeleteThank you Robin! I like the pop of pink too!

Naw, not buyin' it! LOL
How can you go from a LOT of variegation to none?
It wasn't even close!

I know Marilyn! I could have said a lot more, but I was trying to be good, lol!
DeleteBesides, I thought they dyed the threads themselves.

Apparently not! I was surprised too.
