Caron’s Threads The Hand Dyed Variegated Colours on sheets 2 to 5 are nearly all available in Watercolours and Wild Flowers and the Solid Colours on sheets 6 to 9 are available in Impressions & Soie Cristale. Waterlilies have most of the variegated colours and Wild Flowers have some solid colours. Check the individual thread sheets for the actual colours available:
Watercolours: 3 ply 100% Pima Cotton Thread has a silky sheen and can be used in one, two or three ply. One ply is approximately same weight as #5 Perle
Waterlilies: 12 ply 100% Silk Single ply is used for very fine work. Many of the colours match the Watercolours and Wild Flowers but because silk takes the dye differently they may be more subdued.
Wildflowers: Single Strand 100% Cotton Thread has more of a matte finished and can be used in one or more strands together. One strand is a weight somewhere between the #8 & #12 Perle threads
