For the mystery project<\/a> I need to create six to ten identical items. We have been supplied with two possible patterns, and need to work a sample of each for them to choose from. Both of them are floral, and one of them has foliage that is variegated.<\/p>\n

My issue is that working the variegated foliage will be most easily done with a variegated thread. BUT, we need to make up to 10 identical copies of it… That means that if I was to use the variegated thread, I’d need 10 identical sections of thread, and use them in exactly the same way.<\/p>\n

Hmm… as I’ve been writing this, I’ve just had an idea. I think Gloriana threads<\/a> usually have about 10 strands. (Just checked, their silks have 12 strands, no less!) Looking down the listing of threads in the linked page, I think that Avonlea *might* work for our purposes.<\/p>\n

But now, another thought pops into my head. Gloriana is probably not colourfast, and they might need colourfast thread.<\/p>\n

If Gloriana won’t work, then we’re planning to use either a DMC color variations thread, or a Cosmo Seasons thread, and hopefully find an exact repeat of the colour tones further along the thread. I figure that its more likely with a really “commercial” thread rather than a hand-dyed craftsman-type one.<\/p>\n

Just a little glimpse into the thought that goes into a project. Its all this problem solving that I particularly love!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
