Appleton Shade card

Beth Russell Needlepoint

Shade card Apart from the fact that Appleton wools have the best range of colours available, they also produce the most useful shade card. All the 419 colours are shown in ranges with each range on a card of its own so that one is able to hold one colour up against another. This is entirely impossible with the majority of shade cards where they are anchored on a page and one can only guess the differences before the thread is bought.
