Several years ago, DMC came out with a set of shaded embroidery threads which they called, "Color Variations". I loved them! Many times while stitching with them I thought to myself, these would be great in Perle #5! DMC must have been reading my mind because they've recently released these threads in Perles:
Aren't these just yummy?!!! Oooof! I wanted to share a photo of them with you before I started using them.
I don't see them listed on DMC's website yet but they are available from Herrshnerr's. Here's the direct link to the thread listing.

Neat looking colors!
Those are lovely. I don't do alot of embroidery. A while back I purchased a grab bag full of different flosses, and ended up with a bunch of Dmc Rayon floss I have no idea what to do with. If they would interest you, let me know. I am in the middle of a craft room downsize and clean out.
Strange you've not seen these before - I've got a piece of needlework I'm doing, and have been for at least 6 years (I'm one of those that starts a project, gets fed up with it and forgets it for ages before going back and picking it up again!).
And guess what? I'm using DMC Perle 5 varigated threads in it, and have done right from the begining!
They are great threads, wonderful colours (and no - I haven't spelt 'colour' incorrectly!) and so easy to work with!
