So you will have quite a lot left over with the exception of black, where you will need the full skein / 8 metres.
By memory, each skein comes in 8 metres in length and you may need about 1 metre of each skein. The numbers you see in the column for number of skeins, shows that you would need a partial of each skein.
This is only a partial list:Įxample of floss list for a cross stitch pattern, minus the symbols for each colour Below is an example from one of my own patterns I’ve converted from a photo I’ve taken. This can be in the form of number of skeins or metres. The other component of the pattern is the key that lists all of the threads you need and how much of each colour you will need to complete the pattern. Sometimes, the designer may suggest what needle size to use for the corresponding fabric count. The instructions will tell you what the stitch dimensions are of the finished piece and many of the designers will recommend what fabric size to stitch the project on. I strongly recommend you have a read through them, just in case there’s something special you need to pick up from your local craft store. Many patterns, regardless of where you’ve gotten them from, have some really handy instructions for all stitchers. If you are curious about these things, check out some of my previous posts! The pattern I’ve also purposely not talked about scissors, lighting, stands, hoops, frames, needle minders or any other tools of the trade that can be used while stitching a project. Some of these things may seem blatantly obvious, but can easily forgotten in the rush and excitement of starting a new project. So, progressing to kitting up your next project yourself seems like the next logical step! What you need If you’re like me and started your love affair with cross stitch with kits helped a lot with learning to stitch and see the finished project.
