Evidently some of the strands were from different skeins. I'll post a picture soon but I think it's all OK because the area that I've used the threads in has three different green sprinkled amongst each other so the slight difference in color isn't noticable.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501265608348682893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680695961925031615.post-34734668614935613292009-07-16T16:21:43.300+10:002009-07-16T16:21:43.300+10:00Have you had this on a cardboard bobbin?

I've had similar issues with medium yellow-green DMC - old stock wond on a bobbin - the top layer became slightly faded although it had not been in the sun or near a window, but rather stacked in line with it's brothers. I ended up treating it as it's very own special varigated thread and using a fresh skein. There has been a similar discussion on the 123message board within the past couple of months in regard to DMC mid-green fade. Sorry that this information will not help you with your immediate problem, but it might help to know that you are not alone. <br />If the colour variation will annoy you every time you see the picture, then re-stitch it.BronnyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06729424866466315098noreply@blogger.com
