Progress shots of embroidery sampling on white and navy in cotton and bamboo wool. My local haberdasher had a big sale and I wanted to stock up on non floss types of yarns and test them out for upcoming projects.
I really liked the way they caught the morning light as I tried to arrange them into a continuous rainbow, and it is so therapeutic to just stitch away without worrying about a design. I loved the way the moods changed as i worked my way through the rainbow and each hue altered the balances. They looked and felt so nice once I was done I had to frame them - in the one colour that doesn’t appear in the sample, duck egg blue!
