Hi Su, Good heavens.....how awful. I looked it up and it’s now being sold with the new name Thread Magic....in the U.K. ......don’t know about the US.
Are you sure it was because of that thread we had a year or so ago that it was closed down. I’m sure those of us that use it frequently realised that there was a lot of 'hot air' blowing around at that time.
Lumière is like metallics . If you have a DMC colour chart fold out book, it’s at the back.....ah it’s called light effects gloss in English.....and very similar in it’s behaviour' to metallic thread.
