<<On the shade card there are only three varigated colours, all the others are pain. 280 is turquoise pink and gold with a tiny bit of green, all fairly well blended together. Colour 380 is turquoise pink yellow and white and looks more stripey in the sample, ie longer lengths of each colour, and is the paler of the two. (270 is very different, turquoise pink and gold with black).
Are you sure that both reels are colour 280? If they are I can only suggest that it's the old story of different batch numbers/dyelots>> Definitely the same number (280) and the one I like (VBG) is as on the shade card. Even DH took one look and said they're totally different! As long as I don't use them together I'll be OK but it really makes me wonder. As the labels have identical info but are different typefaces I can only presume that something has changed. I've emailed Madeira. If I get a response I'll let you know!! Lynne.
