#164"Winter
Cottage" Sampler Wintry
Days bring Snow and Fun...!Imagine
spending some family time in this adorable Winter Cottage in
the snow! This scene makes me long for those hushed winter
days spent in nature, in the pure sparkling snow. The kids
are playing outside
in the yard, making a snowman, feeding the birds while you
are putting together a picnic to take on your crisp and
sunny cross country skiing trip in the afternoon. This is
truly your ideal winter getaway! The water behind the
cottage evokes a mountain lake, but the water view can be
viewed as whatever body of water you want it to be; river,
ocean or lake - whatever feels personal to you and your
family! The linen used is a perfect dark grey-blue, to evoke
a dark and snowy winter sky and to make the snow look so
white compared to the background colour! Your LNS will have
several linens available, so enjoy choosing your own
favorite colour linen to bring this project to life! This is
a perfect design to hang in your home or cottage to remind
you of fun times past, present or yet to come.. in your own
little Winter Cottage! - Thea

Sorting The Threads in your Accessory Pack:
Remember to sort in daylight near a window, not under
artificial light indoors, as the colours change with the
colour of the lightbulbs we use. Each floss has a different
number of strands in each thread length. This helps you
differentiate the different colours in your pack.
Needlepoint Inc. silk floss has 8 strands per length The
Kreinik Mori has 6 strands per length The Gloriana Overdyed
Silk has 12 thin strands per length. Dinky Dyes has 6
strands per length.FYI:We
noticed that some colours have been divided into two
lengths. This can happen if a colour requires 1.5 yards. Our
kitmaker might include one 1 yard length and one 0.5 yard
length, so don't get confused if one colour has more than
one length of thread. We hope this extra information will
help you sort your threads more easily!
