Model Fabric: Overcast Linen from Cedar River

Charlottes monochrome sampler has been reproduced using Soie 100.3 overdyed by Painters Threads to the shade Waterhouse. We are delighted with the results. Although hard to capture through the lens of a camera, Waterhouse gives depth and movement to the sampler.

An alternative solid silk would be Soie 100.3 #774 for a slightly mellowed black. You might prefer to stitch with a solid black for a bolder look.
