I have discovered that between the colors in the photo and the wonky dye lots I must have that mine is not going to look like the picture. Phooey. Because I really like the colors in the photo! My Piney Woods for example is VERY dark, and my Sarsaparilla is brown.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1874\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9738.jpg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9738.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9738.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9738.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9738.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9738.jpg?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9738.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.marysthread.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/img_9738.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Well, I changed one thread.
