I was just informed by Hitena that they've had major production issues at their factory and that they won't have this color back in stock for the foreseeable future. Does anyone have a spool of this particular color they would be willing to sell me? Thanks, Dan

Metallic Aurora is a different series thread from Metallic Vivid

Dan, I've been checking daily for the metallic aurora purple for months now, so I'll piggy back to ask if anyone has a spool of the purple they'd be willing to sell me.

I hope you find a spool of the black.

Nick, here's the response from Hitena;


hitenausa:

"Hi Dan,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Unfortunately we had some major production issue at our factory and unlikely to restock Aurora anytime soon. We'll let you know once we have them available for sale here.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused."


I've found the metallic Aurora thread on a black rod blank makes a killer dragon scale pattern, the color change is spectacular...I'm spoiled!

I have a sealed 100yd spool of Aurora black #1401 metallic that you're welcome to Daniel, email your address to me and I'll send it your way

Thanks Mike- much appreciated! Another awesome forum member!!

This is a killer, Aurora was my goto for many projects, great colors. I’ll check my stock for a purple..

Any word on Hitena?
Out of business?
I loved the STWrap!

They'll be at the Expo this year.

Tried their website this AM. This is what's posted;

Down for Maintenance
Sorry, this store hasn't opened yet, or is temporarily down for maintenance. Please check back soon.

Might try and contact them here

Sent an email to Gabriel about a week ago asking when website would be up and when their thread would be available for purchase. Haven't heard anything so far- keeping my fingers crossed that they resolve their factory issues.

Tom,

I would love to see them there, but the last time I checked, they were not on the list of show vendors you posted. Have they not fully committed to the show yet?

Is Hitena out of business? Website's offline and can't seem to find product. What's the 411?

Good day Sam,

Lots of talk of Hitena coming back, yet no official response from Hitena. I found some more of their thread on another site a month or so ago.


They do have a very unique product, I would suspect they plan on coming back due to demand.

Just curious what you like so much about this type of thread?
