from United States on 08/02/2025 - Black Not stark black but definitely black and not dark gray. Raven is a good description of it. Has a little variegation.
from United States on 07/18/2025 - Perfect for Halloween stitching! Such a pretty black with touches of dark green. Lovely
from United States on 03/02/2025 - Gorgeous color! The thread I received looks very much like the photo representation, black with a slight tinge of green. As I am stitching a reproduction of a headstone this was exactly what I wanted.

from United States on 08/26/2019 - A favorite of mine I use a lot of black floss in my stitching, and this is one of my favorites. Definitely a vivid black, but with a hint of green that makes it unique.
from United States on 05/20/2019 - Amazing color! This thread is gorgeous! Its black but in the light its like it takes on a dark green shimmer. Very beautiful thread!

from United States on 10/03/2015 - Raven color not all Black One of the thinks I dislike about dyed threads is that they often have no resemblance to the color called for. In the batch of threads I ordered most were fine. I did ask the staff to check for me. But Raven turned out to be Black with Drk Green. I used DMC black instead.
from United States on 11/11/2014 - Nice color. I really like this color, but I would advise any stitcher to be certain that they have all the floss they need for a pattern. This particular color can change dramatically from dye lot to dye lot. Sometimes there is a lot of green in it and other times very little. Some of my floss is several years old and if I need to add to it, I buy at least 2 skeins so I don't have a problem with an old skein not matching the new. cjh
