Blue and White Faced Spangles

I have received a few notes regarding the dying of White Faced Spangles into Blue Faced Spangles.
Collectors are aware that the BLUE faced Spangles were limited and could possibly be worth more money.
It is important that you check these Beanies very carefully as not to be misled.

As far as I can tell the blue faced Spangle are sewn with white thread. If the piece is dyed after production the thread would be dyed as well resulting in blue thread. This would be especially evident under the chin at the seam that goes from the neck to the nose; this would be the easiest way to check. Simply pull the fabric apart at the seam area and you should be able to see the thread. If the thread is blue, then your Beanie has been dyed.

In regards to Pink Face Spangle. From what I can tell it looks like the pink ones were sewn with pink thread; however, if you are suspicious you can check all of the seams, if there are various shades of pink thread, that would indicate some tampering.
