Thread Legend
Jane’s vibrant sampler has been reproduced with a palette of 19 colours from Au Ver à Soie’s range of Soie 100.3. We have provided conversions for Soie d’Alger and DMC. Only one spool or skein of each colour is required when stitching with 40ct linen /20ct Aida and higher. If you are using under 40ct linen/20ct Aida, you will need two skeins of DMC 909 or Soie d’Alger 236.
Jane stitched her sampler with cross stitch over 2 strands of linen. The model was stitched on Lakeside Linen in Vintage Pecan Butter. The linen on the original sampler is closest in colour to DMC shade 422.
The project has been rated as suitable for needleworkers of all levels of ability and can be stitched on Aida or linen.
