Frequently Asked Questions
- Light Jade's slot in the green map?
- The cool-green seat — bluer than sage, greener than aqua, lighter than true jade. It's the cotton neighbor of the Magic Mint/Light Turquoise territory, for fabrics that split the difference between green and blue-green.
- Jade or a sage thread on a light green?
- Temperature — grey-herb greens take sage-family threads; anything with a blue-water cast takes Jade. The spool test against the bolt settles the borderline.
- Coastal-quilt role?
- The shallows-green of cotton shore palettes — seafoam zones quilted tonally between the aquas and the sand neutrals.
- Why cotton here?
- The organic-modern green palette lives on cotton solids — matte cotton thread keeps the whole surface in one natural register the poly lusters would break.
- Machine notes?
- 50wt tension, #16 needle, standard Aurifil housekeeping.
