HOW MUCH FLOSS?


HOW MUCH FLOSS? Since this is a frequently asked question, we thought we’d mention it again. On 14 (stitches per inch) count fabric (or 28 over 2 threads), you should get from 1400 to 1800 stitches from one 8 meter skein of floss, depending on how you stitch. On 16 count (or 32 over 2) you should get 1600 to 2050 stitches per skein. And remember to buy multiple skeins of DMC, if needed, at the same time to insure a match. With Anchor there should not be a matching problem. Overdyed Sampler Threads vary with each batch, so be sure to get a matching second skein if there’s a doubt (5 yard skeins).
