The thread used in my necklaces and bracelets is Caron’s Wildflower embroidery thread. It is a hand dyed cotton thread in a wonderful selection of colors.

From the left: Black Cherry, Bordeau, Fraises Bois, Cherry Cordial, Royal Jewels.

The Cherry Cordial is very popular especially done with the cut-garnet glass beads.














This is all the same thread with different beads. The thread is Rainforest. From the left, Crystal-bronze, Multi-blue, Multi-green, Green-iris cut, Crystal-copper. This thread is quite popular and takes on a different appearance depending on the beads used.




Miscellaneous thread colors: On the left is mediterranean with Aqua-mix beads. On the right is pine forest with iridescent-green cut beads.
