An exciting acquisition (161/365)

One problem with sewing your way through a global pandemic is that it hasn't exactly been possible to pop into a shop with a scrap of fabric to hold it up against the giant Gutermann thread display and select the right colour thread. Instead, I've had to resort to holding the fabric against my computer and phone screen, trying to work out if the display is rendering the colour properly or not (my phone is more accurate than my laptop, but not perfect) and blessing the fabric sellers who give you a box to tick if you want to order a matching thread (though several only seem to do that for some of the fabrics) or who will pick out a different colour to the one you ordered if you email them and ask.

But no longer! Now I have a Gutermann shade card of my very own! No more relying on digital renderings of the colours!

(Yes, it is possible I need to get out more, but hello, global pandemic here. I'll take my excitement where I can find it.)
