Belle Soie Silks
Presenting Crescent Colours' 12-ply spun silk hand-dyeds!!! Just open this bag of silk... *touch* all of it... *breathe* about the colors... run your fingers along the 12-stranded spun silk threads... arrange and re-arrange them in color family order... THEN think about stitching with it!!!
I am so impressed with all of these! Lovely 5-yard skeins of continuous length silk... Sharon Crescent has done a wonderful job of dying monochromatic colors. Some have more variation than others... but each is a softly blended medley of deep, rich color.
Very pretty thread, this is becoming quite popular, and is perfect for all the monochromatic samplers. $7.50 per skein

Sampler Months: January and February from Little House Needleworks and Crescent ColoursLittle House and Crescent Colours are beginning another bi-monthly set of designs for 2010.

The designs are 69 x 69 stitches, so finish approx 4-1/2 inches square. ***You might want to purchase enough fabric AT ONE TIME to do the year of these. I think most anything will make them look darling -- just choose something YOU like to work on! If you choose a 14/28, you might want a fat half measure. I'm thinking this is a set that you'll want to MATCH... or else PLAN or two or three different fabrics... you sure don't want ONE month that is from a different dye lot of fabric!*** Available as the pairs -- you can pick them us as needed, or join our auto the get them all as they are released! (December, February, April, etc.) Give us your fabric preferences in the Comments Box of the order form!
