This is a couple of shades lighter than what I was hoping for(its just a deep pink), I was looking for that nice deep magenta colour. I have opened one of the spools and see that there are two ends showing (coming out of the middle of the thread, usually on big spools the actual end is fully tucked inside against the cone) so i'm a little concerned that the thread is not one full piece how ever I wont know to what extent until I start using it. I haven't checked the other yet.
its a nice light blue, I haven't stitched with it yet.
