The fabrics and threads used for the embroidery
We have used rayon thread and our variegated Calais cocoons.
The degraded colours of the cocoons adds another dimension to the different stitches. As for the rayon thread, it has a delicate shiny effect.
Both are used as is, with no need to double them. The colours of thread are indicated on each pattern chart.
We used our 14cm squares for the linen fabric.
A pack is available containing all you need for each of the sets.
