there is no fabric softener add because it is naturally soft It is hand dyed and rinsed till water is clear I welcome special requests I will attempt color requests but please don't get up set if I cannot get it perfect. Dyeing thread is still an art. Thread is new from manufacture but even machines are not perfect and do put flaws in the rolls I scan the picture in order to get the most accurate pictures. I can not be held responsible for monitor variations I have been dying thread for about 15 years and have had little of no issues feel free to contact me with any questions you may have thank you for looking |
