I really don’t want to know how many are there. Admittedly, there’s no dearth of Appleton crewel wool here. But my choices are limited entirely to what’s in my stash. Now, don’t get me wrong – I’m going to try to coordinate things so that the poor rooster doesn’t end up looking like a blob of discombobulated colors. For the sake of this particular project, it’s the type of thread more than the color choice that is moving me in my selection. So, unlike the designer who designs a project, works out the colors on paper, then picks out suitable threads to carry out the project, I’m sort of winging it on the color choices. The second point is to play with stitches that are typical of crewel embroidery.Īll of my threads for this project are coming from my stash. The first point is to play with different wool threads that are available on the market and see what they’re like, and especially, what they’re like in comparison to each other. There’s a dual purpose behind this project. I’m going to be working this crewel embroidery project much like a sampler – a kind of off-the-cuff sampler.
