Another of the Janet Perry 2011 Bargello Club pieces, this one for June. She said shop stash so I did: the overdyed is a Weeks Dye Works "special" called"Old Glory" "#4133)and it caused the biggest headaches because there wasn't enough of it to "double" so after ripping it all out once, I had to go with single strands and coverage isn't so hot. The blues are an unknown three-strand tapestry wool (left overs from a kit I had done YEARS ago) separated into single strands and then doubled, Anchor floss # 1034 (doubled), and Caron Watercolors #44 "Ice". The "pink" cuff is another tapestry wool, DMC 7207, four stranded separated into two strands (and that wasn't easy! LOL).
I find these little pieces fast to do but this one gave me the most headache,s what with the separating strands of wool that didn't WANT to separate and the multiple rip-outs. That stitch in the cuff gave me headaches too --- for some reason I couldn't wrap my head around"Nobuko"!...
Well worth the headache - it's a cute piece!! Your colors all came together really well!
