I have a friend who just found out she has terminal lung cancer. I would like to make ribbons for her family. The color for lung cancer is pearl. Do you have any suggestions as to the brand and #?

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. As to your question, Madeira has a nice white with a pearly glitter in their metallic series, #300. I know quite a number of Cuties don't like Madeira at all, but I've been using it for 16 years without any problems.

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I lost my mother and 2 uncles to cancer. It is very hard and my heart goes out to you.

Robison-Anton Color #1014 (Iris) is a very pretty pearly metallic.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. My daughter was dianosed with lung cancer nearly 8 years ago. She is now cancer free. I made her a cancer survivor shirt, and we were told that the ribbon is white and crystal. I used the hot fix crystals on the design for her. She was also given a pendant that was the ribbon with diamonds. I think that by using any white thread would do and you could apply the crystals. If you have any questions, contact me in private. Blessing to you and her family.

If I were doing these from my thread stash, I'd use Sulky 1071 Off White. I'm sorry for your friend. I pray for the very best for her.;)

I don't have a precise answer for you but I think any off white would be OK. If you can find one with pearlescent colors mixed in it (maybe a metallic) then even better.
