Do all of you buy your Aurifil or King Tut locally? Or have you purchased color charts? My head is reeling from looking at colors online -- very confusing.

I would buy the Aurifil that is on sale, for example, except I want 50 wt variegated and all I see are solid colors on the sale website. The chart she sells doesn't say whether there are both solid and variegated colors on the chart.

Have also looked at the Red Rock and Superior Threads websites. With Red Rock at least I can hold up my quilt top to the screen to try to match the thread color. With Superior supposedly being such an expert thread site, I'm amazed that they post their online e-catalog sideways!
