I have sitting in front of me two reels of Madeira Metallic thread. One arrived this am by post (no 2) and the other (no 1) in a similar fashion the day before. They are meant to be identical ie same number but the threads look totally different in colour. It's meant to be a blue, pink, gold thread no 280 . Thread no 1 is, thread no 2 is more a green, dark blue, pink thread. You could not use them in the same piece. I ordered no 2 10 days ago and when it was delayed by non delivery from Madeira , I ordered no 1 with some other bits and bobs ( being keen eager and having an empty pillow!) and they arrived promptly in two days. So I believe no 2 is the latest version (thick black type and a translucent reel) while no1 is older on an opaque reel. does anyone know why the thread has changed colour?? I much prefer the no1 as it's much brighter and 'bluer'. I can use the other but what do I do to match them up if I order again.
