Over the years one of the top questions we've been asked by shop owners and retail customers has been "Where do you get your inspiration for your colors?". Our answer has changed over the years, from looking at the particular thread line to see what color families are missing to finding inspiration from a picture, or a theme we are doing for an upcoming tradeshow. We have had so much fun creating colors. We would like to offer you lovers of the needle arts the chance to say "that new Thread Gatherer Color, it was my creation!". We are starting a limited edition Silk 'n Colors thread club with colors each month designed by you!
The club will be called 'Coloring My World Wonderful'.
This is how it will work. The first twelve people (or shops) who sign up will get the chance to choose (in the order you sign up) one month out of the year for 2016. These twelve people will take inspiration from nature, a photo, place or other inspiration such as gift wrap etc. Send us your inspiration (with at least 3 colors) via email or the mail, (ideas: paint chips, a snippet of fabric, a picture from a magazine) by the 15th of the month prior to your month. The official first shipment comes out January 2016.
Thus, if you have January as your month we must have your color choices no later than Dec 15th, and if your month is February 2016 we must have your color inspiration no later than January 15th and so on. We will create one multi-color and two other colors (probably solids) to compliment the multi. Each person in the club will receive 3 limited edition colors each month. The club will be a year long commitment. The retail special price of this club is $15 per month plus shipping charges via USPS. In the US this will be $2. International customers will pay actual shipping charges. We will include a special gift four times during the year with your club.
All colors created become our property and we reserve the right to name the colors and add any color to our regular line. There is a small fee of $5 to join the club. You will be required to sign a contract for a year ($15.00 per month plus shipping for a year). Email Cece at: thethreadgatherer@msn.com to join using subject line of email: Color My World Wonderful Club. Shops may also join the club, and we will advise you of your wholesale price when you email or phone us. There are many color inspiration boards on Pinterest if you need assistance in choosing your colors. Here is an example of a color inspiration board:
