Frequently Asked Questions
How does Timber differ from Hickory?
They are neighbours in the woodsy dark brown family: Hickory carries a slightly warmer, redder cast while Timber reads more neutral-dark, like sawn lumber. On red-brown bark and warm plaid fabrics Hickory blends better; on neutral dark wood tones, Timber is the closer match.
Is Timber or Acorn better for a lodge quilt?
Acorn is the lighter tan-brown of the pair, suiting mid-tone woodland fabrics, while Timber grounds the darkest areas — log walls, dark plaids, and shadowed borders. Most lodge quilts benefit from both, with Timber taking the borders and binding-adjacent quilting.
What is the best allover thread for a dark flannel quilt?
Timber is a strong candidate: dark enough to disappear into deep flannels and buffalo checks, warm enough not to read blue-grey. On mixed flannels with lighter patches, test on the lightest fabric first — if the contrast is too strong there, step up to Acorn.
