Louise Henderson (Cherished Stitches)'  A Christmas Sampler Miniature uses Treenway Silks' 100% silk threads throughout the piece.   Louise used our limited edition natural-dye silk threads, which gives a lovely, timeless feeling to the ornament.

The chart is published in Just CrossStitch "Christmas Ornaments 2015" on page 52.

We've put together a thread pack which includes the complete collection of Treenway Silks' silk threads needed to create this beautiful project.

      1 skein  Harmony (6-strand silk floss) hand-dyed #1004 Red Saffron
      1 skein  Harmony (6-strand silk floss) hand-dyed #1023 Fern Green
      1 skein  Harmony (6-strand silk floss) hand-dyed #1011 Tuscan Gold

30 yards total,  hand-dyed in Colorado using natural dyes extracts.

Note--the fabric Louise used is 60/54 uneven weave linen "Maritime White" from Lakeside Linens.  Bonnie Ingalls stitched the small version using 52cnt "Vintage Maritime".  Bonnie also stitched a version in 32 cnt (over 2) which makes a lovely 4"x4.5" finished ornament.

The 7mm Silk Ribbon in color #9514 Amber, used for the ruching, can be found here. We used 1 skein for the small ornament.

     Harmony thread is dyed with natural dye extracts derived from plants, roots, barks, berries and insects. 
     The natural dyes used are from responsible, sustainable sources that are organic and fair traded. 
     The dye recipes, formulated exclusively for Treenway Silks, use only safe, non-toxic, earth-friendly mordants and procedures that yield good to excellent wash and light-fastness.

 note--as always, our postage estimate is high (we never know what size/shape the total items that your cart may contain, which affects shipping cost).  If you're JUST getting this silk pack, we will send it First Class Mail with tracking and your shipping costs to a US address will be no more than $4.00.  You won't see this when you check out, but after your package has shipped, a human (me) will finalize your "pending" credit card charge to reflect the actual postage cost.
