Canvas Stitches in One Colour














This sample uses one colour thread on 10 count mono canvas. I used Perle No 5 cotton in light green. This type of thread has a nice sheen and produces interesting textural effects on stitches in a repeat pattern.

I would not generally use this colour but it was a close colour to the light green moss on the rocks. I tea dyed the canvas to take away the stark white and give an 'old' look.

A stitch key attached indicates the stitches used.
