An Online Magazine presented by the CARON Collection... your source for exquisite hand-dyed variegated & unique specialty threads, exciting designer patterns and more.

" The CARON Collection now includes 12 different thread lines with almost 200 different color combinations. The hand-dyed variegated cottons, silks and wools that set them apart from other thread manufacturers have become the favorites of designers around the world. Despite industry predictions that it would be years before sales of a new line of designer patterns would take off The CARON Collection's "designer booklets", introduced in 1995, have far exceeded all expectations. The full line also includes what started it all - hand painted canvases, in "exclusive" limited editions.

The CARON Collection designs have become popular additions in many needlework publications. Feature articles about the company and Lois Caron have been published around the world. The CARON Collection line is now distributed in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Holland, Germany, Italy, France, Spain, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.

And now with the debut of The CARON Collection's "Dyed and Gone to Heaven" web site Lois hopes to provide the inspiration for others to start a lifelong love affair with needlework and needlecrafts, too. We hope our visitors will tour the site and take advantage of all the resources it has to offer. Have fun and enjoy! And please support your local needlework shops who have helped so many get started in this rewarding and creative field. "
