Light Heather is D532 which is the highest number I know of. If you want to send me a list you are more than welcome and I could help fill in some blanks. We are always happy to post out too.

I am also trying to collect the actual colours on wooden spools, although it is possible that the later colours were only produced on plastic spools. The highest number I am aware of is 483 (Wedgewood Blue), so it could take some time!Caroline Cornellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12517072395861712881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033870389735252681.post-503716387944789342015-05-13T21:31:54.027+01:002015-05-13T21:31:54.027+01:00They are gorgeous!
