This page is a pictorial thread glossary, Click on a name to view a scanned image of the actual thread. The images are at 75% scale so as to make the images of usuable size on monitors.... in order to guage actual relative weight/size I suggest comparing the images to the number 5 pearl cottons - both DMC and Anchor are represented.

        Links to major thread and fiber manufacturers may be found on the Supplies page. Color cards may usually be found on these sites as well. Color Card for Humphries Silk, click here (with thanks to Anne N.)
