Thread Legend
Ann’s sampler has been stitched with a palette of eighteen colours from Au Ver à Soie’s range of Soie 100.3. We have provided conversions for Soie d’Alger and DMC. Whether you are stitching on 28ct or 56ct linen, you will only require one spool or skein of each colour, with one exception: when working on a linen count below 36ct, you will require two skeins of Soie d’Alger 5024 or DMC 501.
