I saw the thread myself before it was removed and the color, as I remember, was lighter. Of course that might have had something to do with the age of it.

Yup, that's more like what I remember. Now keep in mind it was quite a while ago so I could be "off" but this looks like it.

I saw it years ago when the museum displayed it, I think the thread was a little darker

It was like a royal or navy blue.

Here is an assortment of Blue Silco thread (actually spelled with a "y"). Lots of blue to choose from! I, personally, don't believe that the thread came from Elsie Whateley. She never says in her March 1932 statement to police that she gave thread to anyone. In my opinion, that spool of thread probably came from the sewing room of the Morrow home.

Hi Amy! I just reread statements from Anne, Betty, and Elsie. Elsie said the thread came from her and she brought it with her from England. Of course all of the statements contradict who did what and when. . . What statement is that from? I must not have it.

]Amy, I did a search for "blue silco" and then read all of their statements to LE and at trial. Read Elsie's about her bringing it from England. Amy, look for Elsie's trial testimony, pages 237 - 238. Thanks for checking all of this. I had a feeling the claim that Elsie was involved as a source for the thread would come from the trial in 1935. In March 1932, within days of the kidnapping and with everything fresh in their minds, both Betty Gow and Anne Lindbergh, herself, are in agreement that Anne was the source for the thread. Elsie Whateley is not mentioned by either of these two women as being involved. In Elsie's March 1932 statement she makes no claim whatsoever as having given anyone any thread to make any shirt. For the 1935 trial, in order to take Anne Lindbergh out of the equation concerning who and where the blue silco thread came from, Betty Gow and Elsie Whateley s take on this responsibility. All three of these ladies go against their own LE statements concerning that thread and perjure themselves. I digress at this point and refer readers to Michael's TDC Volume 1, Chapter 10, pages 119 through 122. He explains this very clearly in his book.
