Floss
estimation is for stitching all five pieces as directed on 32-count linen.
DMC equivalents are only approximate, as there are no exact equivalents
for hand over-dyed fibers.
Package
contains charts for each of the five pieces, stitching instructions, complete
finishing instructions for the needlework smalls, and a worksheet area and
alphabet for personalization.
I
encourage you to use floss and fabric colors that match your personality and
style.
