I just checked out the King Tut threads. They have beautiful colors and great reviews. I think I will try it. If I love it would it be wrong to ask for a full set.... very expensive! It would. I will just buy it 1 or 2 spools at a time if I like it.

This is the first time I have had this problem though! Find a brand that works and stick to it. Don't just buy something that is pretty... that is what I did.

They did have it in sets too awhile back but stopped having it. I was lucky to get them all. If you call, maybe they have some back stock. I love the site and also love getting their catalog. I call them my wish books. I keep them all. Check it out.

I can't wait to try King Tut. I would love to find another brand or two to rely on so I have more choices. Until I can afford to order some KT it is back to Gutterman.

Try www.cottonpatch.co.uk they have a very large collection of their own brand threads including loads and loads of varigated thread. I have used them and they are quite reasonbly priced aswell.
