Thread Legend

Amanda’s pretty sampler was stitched with a particularly beautiful palette of 13 colours from Au Ver à Soie’s range of Soie 100.3. We have provided conversions for Soie d’Alger (SDA) and DMC. Only one spool or skein of each colour is required with the exception of SDA 524, 526 and 2923 when two skeins will be required when using two strands on 28 to 32ct linen.
