New #8 Braid Colors
Designer-requested blends are in the spotlight of the five new
metallic thread colors from Kreinik. Now available in Fine #8 Braid size
(plus #12 Braid) are two cheerful lime green shades: 5801 Cool Cucumber
has a touch of blue, while 5802 Leap Frog is a pearly lime. Then we
filled in some of our color families with various hues: color 5803
Seaside blends pretty purple and pearl. Colors 5800 Golden Blackberry
and 5804 Calypso (a rich orange) feature a golden shimmer thanks to the
addition of gold to the base fiber. Calypso would add a level of
elegance to Halloween and autumn designs, while Golden Blackberry covers
many design themes.
Use
Kreinik #8 Braid in needlepoint on 18 mesh canvas, and as a blending
thread on larger canvases. In cross stitch, Fine #8 Braid is about the
weight of two strands of embroidery floss, which means it gives perfect
coverage on 14-count Aida. It is also good when used over two threads on
28-count linens. Kreinik Braids are proudly made in the USA, in our
Parkersburg, West Virginia, factory.
All five
new colors are ready to be in your stitching repertoire, to bring your
next design to colorful life. You can find Fine #8 Braid in your
favorite needlework store or http://www.kreinik.com/
