Threads and colours

This pattern shows 6 colours:

4 references of DMC stranded cotton
2 references of ATALIe threads (counterpart in DMC references available on the chart)

ATALIe threads are shaded hand-dyed cotton (or silk) threads by French designer ATALIe; their subtle shading gives a special outcome to your stitching. We advise you to buy the mini-pack of ATALIe threads we have prepared to match this pattern. See below the "related products" section to buy the right mini-pack of ATALIe threads. You will need 1 pack of threads if you choose to work this design as a miniature or 2 packs if you prefer to work with 2 strands of cotton over 2 threads of fabrics.

The model on the picture has been stitched on a 32 count linen fabric (Zweigart ref Belfast colour Fairy Dust) using one strand of cotton over one thread of fabric.

Recommended Fabric: 32 count Zweigart ref Belfast colour Fairy Dust or 16 count Aida, dimensions 20x25 cm (8 x 10 in) if worked as a miniature or 35x 40 cm (14x16 in) if worked with two strands of cotton over two threads of fabric.
