Coats Crochet 154-431 Aunt Lydia's Crochet, Cotton Classic Size 10, Pumpkin

Good “pumpkin” orange. Soft and smooth thread, good for micro crochet projects

I do a lot of needlework as a weight loss technique, believe it or not. Needlework requires clean hands, plus if they’re busy, they’re less likely to shovel food in the old mouth. I had the brilliant idea of making a rainbow colored granny square jacket out of bedspread weight cotton thread, knowing it would take months to complete, and I was right. I found a great deal on clearance colored DMC at a local hobby chain, but something was missing. Yep, a bright orange to balance the colors. This color was just the ticket, and came within a day or two of ordering. I’m so pleased oddities such as this are easily available online with quick delivery. Us thread crocheters, we are a bit of a dying breed!

Perfect match to what i needed

Christmas gift

This is the most beautiful color orange, very much a pumpkin color. It is the typical quality one expects from Aunt Lydia's Size 10 cotton thread; it will have one to three join knots per spool. I just work around it or cut just before it while winding it into a ball. It washes up nicely with only about 10-15% shrinkage, as is typical of this brand. But the color holds true after washing. And the color is magnificent. So if you are in the market for lovely, vivid, color-fast pumpkin orange....This is the thread to buy!

This is up to Aunt Lydia's usual level of good quality, but if you're willing to hit the local Michael's or Jo-Ann, you can get it for close to half this price. I ordered it thinking I would have trouble finding the color, but I've seen it twice for around $3.79 and I paid well over $6 for this.

I use #10 crochet cotton to hand stitch my quilts. This color was true to the photo and matches perfectly for what I needed.

I absolutely love using this crochet thread for Tieing quilts and hand-sewing them with a sashiko needle. I was so thrilled, I bought two more colors!
