The kit for Seasons of the Heart: Fall are available at katie-strachan.com/shop
It features 12 colors of Soie 100/3 and Gobelins, and for the differences between those and other silks I recommend watching the specialty thread tutorial part I: youtube.com/watch?v=F3QVmH2XgPQ&t=312s

Thank you to Nancy Drake, Nancy's Needlework, for sharing her beautiful finish of Christmas Tea on Irish Coffee. You can find my original conversion here although I strongly recommend switching the linen to Irish Coffee: youtube.com/watch?v=2X-3P79Saxs&t=4s

The new Legacy Linen colors shown are 45 count Thai Iced Tea, 38 count Himalayan Fog, and 45 count Hazy Summit. They're all in stock at the Attic and NIAH will have them in stock shortly if not already.
