Nicola has generously made this design available for download now via our store.  The PDF will be emailed to you within 24 hours or you can choose a traditional printed booklet to be posted (booklets are on their way, expected early January)

Thread Legend

Ruth’s sampler has been stitched with a palette of twenty-four colours from Au Ver à Soie’s range of Soie d’Alger. We have provided conversions for Soie 100.3 and DMC. Estimated thread quantities for varying linen counts and the number of strands of thread used have been listed below.

Please note that on 40ct linen and above when stitching the verse and dedication (cross stitch over one thread) we would recommend substituting the Soie d’Alger 3446 for Soie 100.3 627.
