Kreinik Color Cards

| Kreinik Metallic Color Card |
Whether
you are a professional pattern designer, a store owner, a kit maker, a
fiber artist, or a do-it-yourselfer designing custom projects, a color
card puts a manufacturer's thread inventory in your hands. It is a
design tool, an organizing tool, a reference tool.
There
has been some online talk recently about color cards from thread
manufacturers, and whether they consist of just photographs of colors or
actual threads. We want to spread the word that the Kreinik color cards
have actual threads on them. So if you are doing color matching or
planning projects, you can see exactly what a color looks like — in your
home, shop or studio, in various light sources, next to certain
fabrics, etc.

For convenience, we offer digital photos of all Kreinik colors on our web site at www.kreinik.com.
You can also download a PDF of a 'pocket' color chart for each thread
line (silk, metallic, machine sewing, iron-on), featuring photos of all
Kreinik colors here: Kreinik Color Charts.
Until we can all afford 3-D printers, we can't have actual threads
coming out of your computer screens, so in a pinch the photos give you a
pretty good idea of a color.
It is
ultimately the most helpful to flip and search, match and coordinate
based on real colors rather than photo swatches, however. So the Kreinik
Metallic Color Card has thread samples of 350+ Kreinik thread colors
wrapped around panels. The Kreinik Silk Color Card has swatches of 200+
colors. When new colors are added, updated panels are created. For any
creative person, these cards are an easy and economical way to have a
thread palette on hand at all times.
