Very helpful
I purchased two color cards for different lines. One was backordered, but each was sent as soon as it was available and shipping was included in the cost, which is a plus.

The color cards are perfect! A generous sample of each color is given, so you can truly see what it looks like. If your needs require it, one or more samples could be removed easily in order to spread them out full length to compare with something.
One of my cards was for a line which comes in various thread sizes, and a sample of each size was given in white on the first page, enabling me to see which would be best for me to order for my needs.
Given the inability to accurately display colors on a computer monitor, I'd have to say these cards are indispensable tools when you need to match colors! I'm very please with both the reasonable cost and the usefulness and can't wait to wrap up my projects so I can order materials for new ones!

According to Customer Service, the Collingwood Rug Wool color card is merely close to the color. The colors I received when I ordered cones of the yarn were quite different than those on the color card. Different enough that I have abandoned the project. Based on the card I was going to make a rug from Eggplant, Gray Blue, and Blackberry. When the cones arrived they clearly would not make a good combination in a rug. Customer Service offered to take back everything as the card, to me, is useless. That's nice, but not really helpful in getting my rug made.

Unfortunately the yarns I chose from the color cards so quickly delivered to me are not available due to backorders. Very disappointed as I had planned out a specific project and was unable to execute it.

Can't live without this. The computer, pad & phone all show a different color than what I was receiving. With the color card I will be getting just what I want and need.

Very useful for matching colors and know which ones I need for my project. I spin my own yarn, so I like to be able to have samples available as I also weave. I need to match for warp.
