Caron Wildflowers: Solid Colours
33 m skeins of single-strand hand-dyed cotton with matt finish in 30 solid colours, matching the solid-colour Impressions range.
Availability:We stock only the most popular of this range as these tend to be used as threads for sashiko work. If we don't have stock of the colour you require, we can usually obtain this for you in 1-3 days.
Usage
Use one or more strands as required by the ground fabric. One strand is approximately the same weight as flower thread, and is between a #8 and #12 pearl cotton in weight.
For Needlepoint (using basketweave):
#24 canvas - 1 strand
#18 canvas - 2 strands
#13 canvas - 3 strands
For Cross Stitch:
One strand over 2 threads on #24-32 count fabrics;
One strand over one thread on #14-18 count fabrics
For Hardanger:
One strand for open work fillings on #22-30 ct. This works beautifully in combination with one ply of Watercolours as the kloster block thread in hardanger (approx equivalent to a No 5 perle).
