The color sometimes is subtle. When I used variegated blue on my quilt, one friend remarked about it wondering if they were seeing things and was the thread variegated. My pink/orange/red thread is not subtle at all. You can tell every color change. It looks beautiful on the quilt!
I purchased mine at my LQS and it is indeed cotton.
