Hand-Dyed Six-Strand Cotton Embroidery Floss: Collection 1

I had the urge to dye some embroidery floss this winter and thought I would make a little Valentine's collection for you! I truly love using hand-dyed floss because it gives your finished embroidery, whether you're doing cross-stitch or just embroidering on the surface of your fabric, a richness and depth that is unmatched. I like to dye colors that have very subtle variations so that the floss just develops a gorgeous and sophisticated depth of color. The shades in this collection include, from left to right: Oh Dearheart!: A pretty light burgundy with with lighter pink highlights and an occasional patch of warmth. Constance Spry: The lightest possible clear pink with tiny patches of yellow, reminiscent of the center of a newly blooming rose. Wintermint: Pale mint green with a bit of a bluish tinge and an occasional patch of brighter, yellower green.  Dried Roses: A lovely, cool pink with pretty little blotches of darker mauves, like the edges of dried rose petals.
