Palace of the Winds - A Study in Variegated Threads a Cross Stitch Pattern by Jan Hicks Creates
Welcome to the first in my Cross Stitch Lab collection.
We are going to study the styles of variegated threads and how to stitch with them to really make them shine. You will learn the decisions you have to make, based on your own stitching style and personality, when working with variegated threads and when it’s okay to just say no tovariegated threads!
The burgundy model is stitched on 40 ct Old Stationary by Seraphim Hand-dyed Fabrics using one strand of floss over two linen threads.
The green model is stitched on 40 ct Stony Brook by Hobby House Dye Company also using one strand of floss over 2 linen threads. I have provided conversions to DMC as well.
The flosses the chart gives for this design are the following:
Burgandy Colorway: Burgandy/Bark/902 (10.4 skeins), Geranium/223 (4.7 skeins) and Katie's Blush/819 (3.5 skeins)
Green Colorway: Murray Pine/501 (10.4 skeins), Blue Cyrpress/503 (4.7 skeins) and Cottonwood/927 (3.56 skeins)

Question
Does this have to be on 40 count? There is no mention of the brand of thread, color, or how many skeins would be needed.
Thank you for your help.
