Threads

What if I just discovered I love variegated thread? I used it here - it is a subtle change from color to color, all browns - but a different more living/natural? look than a solid color. I like it.

  1. I really enjoy the unpredictability of variegated threads. The colour just goes where it wants to, as if the thread is helping to make some of the design decisions. I like the colours you have used on your piece here.

  2. Hi Karen - that's it - it's the little surprise of where the color ends up.

  3. just discovered your work - the stitching here is great. i love the transition of variegated thread; there is something about the changing colours, as in knitting with variegated yarn. it spurs you on to see how the colour will evolve.

  4. I too have just discovered your lovely stitching, thanks to Jude Hill. I love working with variegated thread. It creates an added dimension to the stitched surface.
