    You will find hand-dyed fabric options listed below (click on the name to go the fabric catalog as well as denser count linens. You could also do it on a cream linen 32, 36 or 40 count you don't want to use a hand-dyed fabric. You could also useFabric photos with a close DMC color are below.

    Most of the linens above 50 count are not even and every mill run can mean a slightly different count. So one color of Kingston might come to out 52/54 and another 53/60. Keep in mind that samplers of this time frame and this density would not have been stitched on an even count fabric and that is part of their charm.

    Stitch count 413 x 414 stitched on linen close to DMC 738. Model was stitched on 56 count hand-dyed linen with Soie 100/3 681.

    We recommend using Soie Surfine for anything above 50 count. A photo below shows how it looks on the 53/60 Kingston we tested. If you want a very dense cross stitch, use 100/3 but if you want it to be finer, use Soie Surfine (130/2)

    Soie d'Alger - 2 hanks of 2924 on 36, 37 or 40 count (1 strand)

    Soie 100/3 - 9 spools of 109, 499 on 664 (sub for 681) or 46 count (1 strand) 

    Soie Surfine - 5 spools of 2109, 2499 or 2681 52/60 , 53/63 count (1 strand)

    DMC floss - 16 skeins of 321 on 36 count (2 strands). If you work this on 32 count increase the quantity to 19 or 20 skeins of the same color.

    You can find silk packs we have made up for each of these in our online thread catalog.

    We are open Tue-Sat 11am-3pm PT for orders, pickup and appointments. We are not able to accept Expedited orders at the present time. Many of our vendors are still taking longer to supply us due to increased demand and supply chain issues. If you only want items we have in stock, please mark your order Ship Partial Cancel Incomplete Items. While we would love to be able to give firm ETAs for items we are out of, that's not possible with the disruption COVID-19 continues to cause across the supply chain.

    We hope that everyone stays safe and we truly appreciate your support.



    Russian customers: We are unable to accept orders being sent to Russia or using a payment method with that as the country of origin due to sanctions.

    EU & UK customers: We are no longer shipping orders less than £135 (~$170USD) to the UK or €150 (~$165USD) to the EU due to VAT requirements imposed by the EU & UK governments. If you are in the EU or UK and you order is over £135/€150, we can send it an you will be responsible for VAT when it is delivered.
