It may seem expensive, but when you consider the yardage in a spool ...... it's a good deal.
BEsides ... when we spend a lot of $ on our fabrics, why not go with a quality thread?





Colour matches ... as mentioned colour cards.
Or just order one spool at a time, then gradually you have some to base it on.

Also, when there are assorted colours in a group (usually better pricing too) ... I will order that, so I have my own samples! Last year I got 70(or so) spools of Aurifil, small size 3 or 4 of each colour ... gave me a great thread stash, and colour options at my ready as needed.
