Can we buy the Superior Threads here IRL or only online?
Where do you purchase yours?
Thanks!

I don't know the Aurifil spacings, though not long distances, so I am thinking more like the 1-1/2" you mentioned.
What I did not like about the Aurifil variegateds was that while the colour switches blended well for the first ones, then there was a a huge jump to a dark. eg. 1-2-3-4-8 (numbers representing the gradation change)
