My collection of thread samples keeps growing.
I use these samples in my thread comparisons. Most brands are globally available but it is always good to have something to compare against when in doubt.
Mi colección de muestras de hilo sigue creciendo.
Uso estas muestras para mis comparaciones de hilos. La mayoría de las marcas se encuentran en casi todo el mundo, pero siempre es bueno tener una base de comparación cuando no se está seguro.

If you want to add to this collection, send me a sample (1 meter /3 feet is enough) together with the thread label or a copy of it in a regular envelope.

Thanks in advance!

Interesting collection and good idea to have samples. Hehe, you have the Romanian brand with the cat picture. It's cheap and not very good quality. I don't recognise the other one though...
ReplyDeleteAlso, did you know the Valdani thread is also made in Romania, but it is for export only.
I did not know that about Valdani! I organize the samples taking into account the country where they were sent from, mostly. Not necessarily country of manufacturing. Thanks for dropping by!
DeleteAre you going to make something with all these little samples? or just have fun displaying them :) ?
ReplyDeleteHehehe... displaying them is fun! My goal is to compare most, or all of them, between themselves to have a good comparison chart of what brand/thickness is similar to what other. Thanks!
DeleteWow, what a diverse collection !
ReplyDeleteIn Anchor cotton, the number of 0s (zeroes) before the dye number indicates the thickness WITHIN that same size! More the zeroes, thinner the size 20 thread.
In the old Anchor threads, there was no such 0, and they were the same thickness as Lizbeth 20.
One has to be Very careful when choosing a combination - very limiting.
I love that you have kept all the little labels with the thread, clever.
