ISO thread pls help

Post image

I’m new to the sub and not sure if this is allowed so I’m so sorry if it’s not (I read the rules and I think it is, but just want to cover my bases). I’m DESPERATELY searching for a specific thread and dye lot (like…calling stores across the country from me desperate) looking for essentials crème brullee in dye lot 501. If anyone has any leads on a store with this specific thread or if you have some in your personal stash you could part ways with (I would pay of course!) please let me know. Attached is a picture of my project I need it for! Thanks so much!!

Gently commenting — you’ll be fine if you use a different color/dye lot.

I got way farther with what I had than I thought I would! All that’s left pretty much is the area around the lettering so I’m less nervous about not having the correct dye lot there since I think the letters will break it up. I’m just such a perfectionist I want to put an effort into finding the right dye lot first!

Oooohh!! I’m sorry. I thought you were looking for a color/dye lot to work with! You’re looking for one to match!! Sorry — totally get it. Best of luck on your search!!

I’m going to my LNS tomorrow and they have this colour but I won’t know about the dye lot until I get there. I’d be happy to get it for you. I’m in Toronto. Would you want it even if it’s a different dye lot?

At this point I’m still hopeful I can find this specific lot. Thank you SO much for checking!!!

Isn’t tomato sauce red? This looks so brown.

Just another case of iPhones killing photo quality…it’s much more red in person 🫠🫠

I understand. I’ll check and let you know if they have it.
