Why don't you just look at the first post, eh?

All of you! :twisted:
Haha that wasn't there before!! Say Vin, could you actually put some of the common color names next to those colors please just so I don't have to flip back and forth between that and Field's. Willow, Rhapsody, Marmalade and the other obscure named colors. Thanks :)

PS. Animal Print is not on your list, Zebra patterned is and they're two different colors :P

Country Cream is one of my favorite colors. Its a bit thin, but i haven't had any problems with it getting holes or anything too quick. It goes well it ever color i've tried with it too.

I found the role of Navy that i got to be very stiff. It almost feels like denim. i used it in a couple bags, but i gave both of them away so i don't know how it breaks in. I think it will break it well, but its definitley a little too stiff to begin with for my taste.

Footbag fashion :wink: if my attempt fails.... Then at least there's better pics than fields fabrics on there

EDIT: but I feel that it would be a help for professional sitchers since they could honestly put themselves down as a professional or company

i just requested about 8 swatches, and it went through. that dosent mean ill be recieving swatches, but it looks hopeful. i said my business was footbag manufacture, (handstitching) and had no tax id. i said i had 2 employees, me and my wife. it should work. fields gives free swatches too... hmm... now to fields!
