Has anyone used the new color- size 10 thread by Aunt Lydias?....

Its called Wasabi  and I just saw it online and it looks to be a tad bit darker than Frosty green that me and CA like so well. 
Am seriously thinking about ordering some of it...I found at the knitting warehouse and its on sell for 2.14

HEY TH!!!!  Where HAVE you been   SO good to hear from you    No, I haven't seen the wasabi before but I don't have the access/ extensive supply places since moving to this part of KY.  I checked it out online.  It does look like a darker frosty green (yes, we do love that one ) but I am wondering if it might look a bit olive in person(?)  I'll be anxious to hear what you think....

Hiya CA 
I have been meaning to send u an email and I have certainly procrastinated  on that ,sorry 
I am doing well finished up 52 weeks worth of the chemo and Herceptin. Had the port taken out on Dec 1st.
Last 2 PET scans show I am cancer free ,Thank God!..
CA I did have me a garden this yr and canned 52 pints of tomatoe juice and 7 pints of dill pickles and put tons of corn,
zuchinni and g.beans in the freezer.
How are you doing?
Will let you know about the thread..really thinking of ordering some of it,so hard to get any colors at all at the local Wally World.
The thread there is next to nil.

    PRAISE THE LORD!!!!  such wonderful news!  Will send you a private e-mail to catch up more of the news.  My garden was unbelievable as well.  I'll have to tell you what happened to ALL of it AFTER it was all put in the freezer.        Yes, be sure to let me /us know if you get the thread and how you like the shade.  I will have to look into what is happening with Redheart and Aunt Lydia's threads.  Wally World has phased out the Aunt Lydia and is stocking nothing but Redheart at the stores in Western KY.  But, when the colors of the RH looked the same as Aunt Lydia I checked the wrappers and they are using the same color names!   For instance, A.L's. Frosty Green is still Frosty Green in the RH.  The RH thread is ok enough but A.L's is nicer and still has a slightly higher sheen.

CA...Got my thread this afternoon 4 spools of it 
Have to say I am pleased with the color...looks nothing close to frosty green....I am not good at guessing colors or rather shades
of colors but it makes me think of guacamole 
Oh and they also have another new color,which I found at HL a while back that is called.. River Classic..I like it really well too.

   Thanks for the update on the thread!  It is good to know you like the shade.  Will you be using it for "anything and everything" OR do you have specific items in mind that the color would be well suited for   I'll have to look up the other color you mentioned---River Classic.  And, I'll check HL the next time I am in Paducah.  As soon as you have used your new thread(s) on a project be sure to post a picture!!!

I don't have any specific plans for this new green color other than I just wanted a new green color 
But I will post a pic when I do use it for something

Is the wasabi one of the AL Bamboo?  I have a green AL Bamboo that I think was called wasabi (lost the wrapper), it is a pretty green, rather muted, but not olive.  It isn't as "minty" as some other green thread I've seen.  I did a couple small things in it, including a small individual pineapple, it is a good shade for pineapples, matches by daughters bathroom decor, which is palm trees and tropical, so the pineapples fit.
