Thread Legend

Rosa’s sampler has been stitched with a palette of eleven 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 is required with the exception of Soie d’Alger #2126 when working with two strands of silk on 14ct Aida/28ct linen. The design is suitable for needleworkers of all abilities. The stitches used are cross stitch over 2 threads.

Rosa stitched her sampler with wool thread on approximately 20ct Penelope canvas.
