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

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

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

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!

Christmas gift

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.

Anyone who has used this string before knows it’s quality and value. It is thin and sturdy. There is a lot on the spool.

Ok

The colours on these threads are stunning. The quality is amazing. The price is affordable and they arrive very quickly. I have bought several so far and will definitely buy again. Have posted pic of an orchid made with this thread.

Top quality thread that can be used for a variety of projects. Bought as part of a Birthday present for a lady who loves to crochet. She has already made a lovely doily.

Colour was exactly as I had hoped, thread is easy to work with and looks great

good quality and range of colours
