More Kanagawa and Fujix Tire Silk

More silk cards came in today. This is how I keep my collection, I organise the cards by colors rather than by number and when I am run out of a color I add a sticky note s a reminder to replace the card when it is back in stock as I like to have all the colors to choose from.

Why is the silk so amazing? It is truly the finest filament silk available worldwide made into a 3-ply buttonhole twist silk thread.

Pantone 2020 color of the Year

2020 Pantone Spring/Summer Fashion Colors Compared with C-Lon Bead Cord Colors

The 2020 Neutrals
Versatile and naturally sophisticated, these neutral hues serve as singular color statements or as foundations for playful color contrasts with the other fashion colors of the year. 

I am always surprised when several customers from different part of the country order the same exact colors, the same exact day... Is is serendipity or did they read a post somewhere recommending specific colors?
