415 Cherrywood — The Timber Brown-Red
So Fine! 415 Cherrywood is the warm dark reddish-brown of cherry wood — a colour that bridges deep red and warm dark brown in a way that reads as naturally, authentically warm. For heritage quilts, antique-aesthetic designs, and warm dark reddish-brown fabrics that need a thread with the same warmth. It sits between 414 Claret on the wine side and 424 Chocolate on the pure brown side of the dark warm family.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Cherrywood differ from Claret?
Claret is a wine red — red first, dark second — while Cherrywood is a brown-red where the timber warmth dominates. On burgundy fabrics Claret blends better; on mahogany, cherry-stain, and warm dark wood-toned fabrics, Cherrywood is the truer match.
Is Cherrywood a good thread for antique quilt restoration work?
Yes — its aged red-brown character matches the faded turkey reds and browns of antique tops, and the fine matte #50 weight builds repair quilting that stays subordinate to the original stitching.
What bobbin pairs best with So Fine! 415 Cherrywood?
A fine warm dark-brown polyester bobbin — Bottom Line in dark brown, or a Mahogany-toned pre-wound on dark backings — keeps the back quiet across heritage production.
