"I wanted to let you know that the thread I ordered for my new, very large project has come and it is so close in color to the thread I had that I cannot tell the difference. It certainly is not the same lot number but the colors are nearly identical to those I had on hand and I am very pleased. It will be quite a while before I finish this project but I know it will be very nice when it is finally done. Thanks for your help. Donna"
