2000 ... is the colour number
1LQ and 1NQ are the dye lots
As per the norm, you may notice a difference between dye lots in the colours.
Not too long ago, I went to buy another spool of an Aurifil green variegated thread that I already had. Same colour number, but a totally different hue ... one was white, and the other more yellow. TOTALLY DIFFERENT threads! That's when I learned about the dye lot numbering on each spool.
When I was at Quilt Canada, I took my spools along and spoke with the Canadian rep, who verified the same. She also told me that with the change in manufacturing locations of Aurifil threads, there have been many noticeable differences in the tones/hues of many of the threads.
eeeekkkks as far as trying to match up what we have!
