Yes Skip it has been that way for about 9 months or so! Definitely do not like it as much! It will change your combinations so you had better think about that before you order and make adjustments!
Big difference
I had not ordered this color since it changed so had no idea until I opened the box, lol!Quote:

To me by your pic Skip I would label those going from left to right as chartreuse, FL yellow, FL Green. So the chartreuse color as shown is no longer available?
Well company's make yellow chart and green chart. My bucktail is that way.
Well I am partial to the old shade this time, but when they changed the shade of Copenhagen Blue a few years ago I like the new one better because it was brighter and had more pop! This time I am not sure it will make a difference to the fish, but the heads of the fishermen? That is a whole other question, lol! Have had at least one say he loves the new one because he uses some other kind of chenille for that and now can use this.Quote:

You never know what they will add or drop, have seen both happen.Quote:

I don’t like the new shade skip I like the old one better and I do have a ton of it I bought quite a bit from Danville many years ago.Quote:

To my eyes they look yellow, Flo yellow, and lime green,,,,
Definitely more green chartreuse if not lime green. I don’t use much of this type of chenille so have no say so in it. If I did I wouldn’t be happy.
I don’t believe they do their own dye work.Quote:

We used to do a lot of our own dye work and the different companies that I work with if you asked for a certain color they always come out with a little bit different between each other .Quote:
