Shaker box lid and needlework smalls are stitched on 32-count Navy Bean (standard)hand-dyed fabric from Lakeside Linens. NOTE: If you use a different count of linen, your stitched design will not fit the recommended Shaker box lid appropriately.

Framed Design (sampler) is stitched on 40-count Navy Bean (standard) hand-dyed fabric from Lakeside Linens.

Models are stitched with Weeks Dye Works cotton floss (DMC equivalent provided):

Weeks Dye Works Cotton Floss (DMC) Bluecoat Blue (826) Bluecoat Red (3328) Bright Leaf (3829) Chestnut (938) Curry (3820) Garnet (815) Ivy (3364) Seaweed (3362) Snowflake (B5200)

Floss estimation 2nd column is for stitching four pieces (the Shaker box lid and three needlework smalls) with two strands of floss over two linen threads on
32-count linen.

Floss estimation 3rd column is for stitching one piece (framed design) with one strand of floss over two linen threads on 40-count linen.

DMC equivalents are only approximate, as there are no exact equivalents for hand over-dyed floss. For best results, I suggest using the Weeks Dye Works cotton floss.
