| Floss/Fiber ~ Sampler Threads |
| Working with
overdyed floss is a fun experience. The thread colors are muted, the color variations per
strand are subtle. Because these threads are hand-dyed in small amounts, there will be
color and shade variations from dye lot to dye lot. Part of the excitement of
working with Sampler Threads is that no two stitched pieces will look the same. Each
finished piece is an original. Since the threads have such subtle color changes, it is
possible to stitch cross-stitch the Danish method (working a row of half crosses out in
one direction, then working the top half of the cross stitches on the return trip).
Working an area in this method will give a more mottled appearance. For a
"clearer" look, work by crossing each stitch as you go. This second method will
tend to leave the thread color variations in a more striped or patched look. |
