thready

Upload a photo of your fabric and we'll try to find a suitable thread from a small list of coloured threads and provide you with the number so you can go buy it from them.

Colour previews are sampled from a PDF thread sample sheet and are as accurate as we can make them using this format.

Thready helps you bridge the gap between your fabrics and the catalogs of Rasant and Gütermann. Instead of squinting at tiny digital thumbnails, you can upload a photo or use the color picker to find a solid starting point for your project. Because every screen and camera is different, these should be viewed as suggestions rather than a 100% guarantee; it's always a good idea to verify against a physical color card if your project requires a precision match.

For the best results, snap your fabric photo in indirect, natural daylight. If the tool leaves you torn between two similar shades, the old sewist's trick is to go with the deeper hue. A slightly darker thread tends to sink into the shadow of the seam, whereas a lighter thread can often stand out more than intended against the grain of the fabric.

thready is not affiliated with Gutermann or Rasant in any way - we just like their threads and want to help people find ones to use with their fabrics. Made with 💛 by Tristan.
