Threads and colours

This pattern shows 14 colours:

  • 10 references of DMC stranded cotton
  • 4 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 4 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 Platinium) using one strand of cotton over one thread of fabric.

Recommended Fabric:  32 count Zweigart ref Belfast colour Platinium or 16 count Aida, dimensions 30x15 cm (12 x 6 in)  if worked as a miniature in 2 parts or 40x 30 cm (16x12 in) if worked with two strands of cotton over two threads of fabric.
