Barnyarns is an excellent company. Have a look at their 'try me specials'. You can order threads at a discount to try out. It is also worth signing up for their newsletter, which has a lot of information about threads.

Thanks for mentioning that. It's great to try new things. I have used it to build a little silk stash. They choose the colors but when you have none, it doesn't really matter which colors they send

Zarah OFFLINE Posts: 1526 Thank you received: 30	Oh, I'm sorry that I did not give you the link to a shop in Europe where you can order threads form Superior and Isacord and Madeira. It's so expensive to get it from the US. Here it is http://www.barnyarns.co.uk/

It is so strange to me, when people say rayon is not colorfast. One of the first embroideries I made was a rose on viscose jersey. It has been washed over and over and I can't see any difference in the embroidery, but the blouse is nearly worn out after five years.

The test that Bob from Superior does shows that the rayon threads can lose color if washed with bleach. I've not seen anywhere where someone talks about a test done the way you would really wash a quilt so I've never worried about rayon either. That always seemed like a bogus test to me.
