Don’t you just love the display of colours on these stands.
All laid out in numerical order so a list in your hand would be a good idea.
I’d gone looking for an ‘easy to see colour’ so wasn’t bothered by the numbers. But let’s just say it was good job that what I was looking for wasn’t on the bottom ground floor section. I’d have been looking for someone to pick it out/pick it up for me. It was a long way down with shade numbers not exactly visible! Spotlight must think embroiderers are all young and nimble
Does anyone remember when the threads were hooked onto a prong – and if you took the wrong one off having a devil of a job getting it back on the prong all nice and neatly.
Plus often some would be put back in the wrong spot and as sure as fate you’d want the correct one behind them and get left with all the others in your hand as well. No wonder there’d be so many lying on the shelf below – or even on the floor.

I’m plodding on with the baby sampler – have reached the ‘big bass drum’
(which is worked in white)
That’s when my ‘what if’ fear rose its head…..what if I run out….
so I decided maybe I should get some new skeins instead of using what I had on hand….
and new will definitely look cleaner and fresher
Hence me being in Spotlight- now I know it’s been several (many would be a better word) years since I’ve bought any floss but I don’t remember there being more than one white.
I couldn’t tell the difference between these two, both looked the same but I played safe and brought a couple of (known) Blanc home with me. Then went down several rabbit holes trying to discover if there was a difference and what it was.
What’s the difference between BLANC and B5200?
This article described it perfectly- HERE
A bit like white yarn and white paint…..not all whites are the same……interesting read.

Neither did I until the other day.
