SBQ: Blended Threads

6 May 2008, 10:37 am. Comments Off. Filed under Needlework, SBQ.

And another Stitch­ing Blog­ger Question:

How do you han­dle blended threads? Do you kit the blends up before you
start a piece, or do you grab what col­ors you need and blend when the
need arises? If you kit up the blends before­hand, how do you store
them? Do you have another option for blends to share?

I can’t remem­ber the last time I did a piece that used blended threads. Obvi­ously, I haven’t got­ten around to stitch­ing any­thing by Teresa Went­zler ;-)

When I’ve had to use them, I just blend them as the need arises. I keep most of my threads (DMC, def­i­nitely) on plas­tic bob­bins, so when I start a project I gather all the col­ors required and put them on a metal ring. As I cut a length, I wind what­ever I didn’t use back on the bob­bin for later use, to avoid waste.
