A 50% silk, 50% wool [36 yd. skein]
Polyester and polyester filament [10 yd skein] Basketweave on 18 count, sometimes on 24 count [colored threads can be stretched to accomodate finer canvas and fabric]. Terrific for cross-stitch.
12 ply spun silk [6 yd. skein]. White or Natural Soie Cristale is the base for Waterlilies. These are the solid colors and they coordinate with solid Impressions and solid Wildflowers.
Hand-dyed 3-strand pima cotton [10 yard skein]. Has the same versatility as Persian wool and can be used for all forms of needlework. One ply covers 18-count canvas and is also suitable for cross-stitch on 11-20-count fabric. Colors coordinate with Wildflowers and Waterlilies.
Hand-dyed 12 ply spun silk [6 yd. skein] Because it is easily divided, it works beautifully on many fabric and canvas sizes. Four plies work well on 18-count canvas, two plies cover 18-count fabric for cross-stitch. Also use two plies for cross-stitch over two threads on 28-count fabric. Colors coordinate with Watercolours and Wildflowers.
Single strand cotton (36 yard skein) works perfectly on 24-count Congress cloth for needlepoint and up to 32-count evenweave fabric for cross stitch. One strand is also just right for Hardanger openwork fillings on 22-30 count fabrics. Two strands fit beautifully on 18-count canvas. Hand-dyed colors coordinate with Watercolours, solid colors coordinate with Soie Cristale and Impressions.
