Fil Au Chinois variegated thread cones

Fil Au Chinois multicolour and variegated sewing threads are dyed and wound on large cones before being rewound onto reels. It is technically impossible to start each reel at the same place and it is possible that the aspect on the reel differs to our photos. This also explains the difference of aspect between spools and cones. However, the frequency of the shading remains the same from one reel to the next.
