Cotton Cloud Aurora Earth is my go-to thread whenever I am making towels, which is quite often. It turns out so nice, good feel and quality to the yarn. I rarely have broken threads. I own so many Aurora Earth bundles I am rarely out of color and how wonderful that is!
I love, love all the Aurora Earth colors. I hope you continue to stock them and bring back the ones that have run out of stock.I cannot get these colors anywhere else. Whoever your dyer is, please have them continue in their work!
This is my go to "red" at Christmas time. But I have used this in many other projects. No problem weaving with white, because it does not run, by turning my white threads to pink. Sturdy and colorfast.
Absolutely love Aurora Earth Cotton. One of my very favorite yarns. Love the colors and soft feel in my weaving projects.
This is a beautiful shade of red . I want to use it for Christmas towels,
