Stitch Count - 73 x 329

Model is stitched on 32 count Belfast linen ~ Antique Ivory by Zweigart (3609/233/55) over 2 linen threads.

Model is stitched with three colors Weeks Dye Works Cotton Floss (DMC equivalents provided).

Mascara (310) - 3 skeins
Juniper (895) - 2 skeins
Bordeaux (814) - 2 skeins

(DMC equivalents are only approximate, as there are no exact equivalents for hand-dyed fibers; for best results, use the hand-dyed floss.)

Entire piece is done in cross-stitch with two strands of floss over two linen threads.

I encourage you to use floss and fabric colors that match your personality and style.

About the design: I designed this piece to hang above my living room recliner where the majority of my stitching is done.
