New Charlotte Market Overdyed Thread Colors (Crescent Colours, Weeks Dye Works, and Gentle Arts Sampler Threads)

New colors for Weeks Dye Works are:

I just wish GAST had utilized the correct spelling on marshmallow. Oh well.

The Crescent Colours are all wrong (website said new June colors but the website has 2007 instead of 2008).

And, Sampler Threads did spell Marshmallow correctly according to their order form I just saw.

Here are the links to the updated-for-June-2008-Charlotte-Market thread checklists for Weeks Dye Works and Gentle Arts Sampler Threads:

I must admit I want a skein of King Mackerel just for the name.

Hum. They've got it wrong on their website. I'll have to check the actual product next time I'm in the store.

I was thinking the same thing about the Blue Heron. We see an occasional Great Blue Heron while driving near the Applegate River and some people living along the river or the major creeks actually have nesting pairs once in a while.

Actually, I'd like to have about 5 skeins of each but that's not going to happen any time soon. The new job has taken a big chunk out of my stitching time anyway and the trigger finger I woke up with about 6 hours after leaving work last week isn't helping any. No one at work has actually said the words: Carpal Tunnel, but I have a feeling that is in my future too unless I get rotated to a different job soon. I like the sanding OK, and the people I work with are very nice but my body doesn't seem to like the intense repetitive activity. I'm hoping that there are other jobs in my department (stuck in the same department for 9 months) that, while still repetitive, aren't as irritating to my hands. Oh well. It's nice to have a paycheck again and to actually plan on finishing off some long extended bills. We're just hoping that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't another train. :-))))) At least the stitching that I DO get to work at (about 15 minutes a day for now, helps keep me sane. :-)

I have several GBH in "the neighborhood" these days, so I'd take a skein of that too. I love to watch them stalk their way around the local ponds and have even seen them catch a few frogs.

Sorry about the trigger finger and really hope it's not carpal tunnel headed your way. I feel the same way about what I'm doing. The kids are ok but the standing all day is starting to get to me.

I finally got someone to tell me the new Crescent Colour overdyed cotton floss colors (from Charlotte market), thanks to Lois of Elegant Stitch:

" right in the next to last update: also our crescent colours have come in (new colors) in cottons: ladybug, grasshopper, rain shower, queen bee & caterpillar and the belle soie silks: empress, indigo, chocolat, rustique & tulip...all of the new thread colors are just beautiful!!!!!"
