Here’s the list of threads that I used for my fall colorway stitched on an 18 count Sandstone canvas:

  • DMC #8 Pearl 435
  • Watercolours 123 Spice
  • Kreinik #8 127
  • Kreinik #8 205C
  • DMC #5 Pearl 830
  • DMC Floss 830
  • Petite Very Velvet V644

Here’s the list of threads that I used for my teal colorway stitched on an 18 count Aquamarine canvas:

  • Elegance E880
  • Watercolours 068 Mediterranean (more color variation than what Ann suggests)
  • Kreinik #8 044
  • Kreinik #8 033
  • DMC #5 517
  • Splendor S854
  • Trebizond TRA701
  • Petite Very Velvet V662 wrapped with stranded Trebizond TRA706 (which I don’t recommend you trying)

I didn’t get a good picture of these threads.

The darker canvases are probably better for this design since so much canvas shows.

It’s one of the more challenging counted pieces that I have worked on but also interesting and lovely. It’s fascinating that so few threads are used yet the patterns look so different. Looking forward to seeing the last ribbon!
