Watercolours
A three-ply hand-dyed pima cotton in variegated colors. It has a silky sheen, especially
when used with long, flat stitches. Separate the plies and use one or more in the needle
according to the pattern directions. One ply is about the same weight as a #5 pearl cotton
or six plies of cotton floss or one ply of persian wool.
$3.50 each |

Waterlilies
A twelve-ply hand-dyed variegated silk. It gives a subtle sheen when stitched and has
particularly good light reflection qualities. Use a single ply for very fine work or as
many plies as necessary to suit stitch and ground fabric. Many of the colors match
Watercolours and Wildflowers, but because the silk fibers take the dye differently, they
may be more subdued.
$6.00 each |

Wildflowers
A single strand hand-dyed cotton in variegated colors. It has more of a matte
finish when stitched. Use one or more strands as required by the ground fabric. One strand
is approximately the same weight as flower thread or Medicis wool. It is between a #8 and
#12 pearl cotton in weight. It is available in all the same colors as Watercolours and the
two threads can be used very successfully together for hardanger embroidery.

Impressions® by Caron
A 50% wool, 50% silk blend. It comes in solid colors which coordinate with Soie
Cristale silk, and hand-dyed colors which coordinate with Watercolours and Waterlilies. It
is about the same weight as Wildflowers, but has more loft. It is very versatile and can
be used on fine linens as well as larger counts of needlepoint canvas. You can often
control the look of your stitches to create either a sculptured or a satiny look simply by
adding or subtracting one strand. The blend of wool and silk gives a unique appearance as
the two fibers reflect light differently, giving your stitching great depth. |
