Gobelins 0133, 492, 671, 779, 2114, 2232, 2643, 3725, Brut
Surfine 2671 recommended for over 1
As discussed, if the Brut looks too white to you, you can add or substitute Gobelins 2541
Victoria Sampler Beautiful Finishing 3: Little House Ornaments
My version is stitched on a Mason Linen Sewing Bird Medium Dark 40 count, with a mix of 100/3, Soie Gobelins, and Accentuate - I'll share the conversion next episode once it's finalized. You could easily use 2 strands of each and stitch the pattern exactly as charted on a lower count.
New Legacy Linens: 40 count Coastal Haze (extremely light gray) and White Thistle (new dyelot of Piccadil)
New kits coming: Flag Thief will release in May, the Britomart Sampler will be coming this summer
Books shown, by Jacqui Carey: Sweet Bags & Elizabethan Stitches
Both are available directly from Jacqui: careycompany.com/product-category/books
MS.8932 is also a superb book that I can't recommend highly enough - a must for anyone interested in textile history, medieval textiles, or object analysis
