Hello fellow stitchers,
It has been a few years since Venus brand thread came onto the market.
Has anybody had the chance to check the back of work done with this thread to let us all know how light fast the dyes really are?
I am especially interested in the green shades, to substitute for discontinued Eva Rosenstand floss where neither Anchor nor DMC provide a good enough match.
Thanks in advance--Irene
When i am going to use a New To Me thread i cut off a piece wet it in hot water and lay it to dry on white tissue paper ,,,, if there is even a sign of leak it will show ,,, i also hang a piece for some days in the sun,,,,, our`s is strong enough , if it doesn`t fade after some SUN days ,,,, i think it will be ok .. mirjam
