1. Select Brands

Click on the toggle switch to the left of the brands you want to use in your search. Click the toggle switch again to disable it. The toggle is to the left when off. It is to the right with a green background when on. As you turn on or turn off switches, the brand names will appear and disappear in the search grid below these buttons. Try to limit your selections to just what you need especially on a mobile device.

 

2. Select a color

Under the source brand column, click on "Click to pick a color." A popup will show all the known colors for the associated brand. Click on one of the color swatches to select it.

3. View Results

Once you select a color under a brand, the column for each brand will show all colors that come close to the one you selected. That actual color you selected will have a black outline around it (see 1027 under Hemingworth in this example).

 

4. Show Actual Image

When you click on a result swatch, the actual image of the thread will be placed below the results. You can select multiple colors. You can remove images by clicking on the X in the upper right corner of the image card. This is useful in helping to pick a good match. When you print the page or download it as a PDF file, these images will be displayed so you can take it with you to buy supplies.
