More Information

The sampler is suitable for needleworkers of all abilities. Sarah worked her sampler with cross stitch over two threads of linen, with the dedication being cross stitch over one thread of linen, and some small sections of satin stitch.

Sarah’s delightful sampler has been reproduced using Soie 100.3 from Au Ver à Soie. We have provided conversions for Soie d’Alger and DMC. Only one spool or skein of each colour is required with the exception of DMC 3012, where two skeins are required for 28–36ct, and Soie d’Alger 3835, where two skeins are required for 36ct and three skeins for 28ct.

The design area is 135 stitches (w) x 251 stitches (h).

There is currently a global shortage of some shades of silk. We have liaised with Access Commodities, the US distributors for Au Ver à Soie, to identify which shades may be difficult to source. There is 1 shade of Soie 100.3 and 1 shade of Soie d’Alger where HATS have suggested alternative shades.
