Bargello Biscornu #123 “BiscornuSet in Two Colourways...”
Online
Finishing Instructions. This
luscious set of “Smalls” is so beautiful, dainty and
elegant! The 5 squares around the outside of the biscornu
include some beautiful Hardanger cut work & weaving. On the
violet and blue Biscornu it is done on a separate colour
light blue linen, using white Perle Cottons. On the
Christmas version, you can see it's done on the same linen,
uisng Cream Perle Cotton and metallic gold for that extra
glitter..! The tops and bottoms include Bargello, using
delicious silks and metallics, as well as tiny blossoms made
of silk ribbon, and some sparkling gold beads. There is even
a tiny scissors fob for each colourway to match. One side of
the fob is worked with the Bargello and tiny flower, and the
other is worked with the Hardanger motif to match..! With
all the various colours in this design, you have many
matching backing fabric colours to choose from. You will
also learn a few specialty stitches. There are Silk
Ribbon
stitches, Bargello, Kloster Blocks, wrapping bars and Dove's
Eyes, as well as Laizy Daisy Stitches for leaves.. perfectly
adorable for either Spring and winter or Christmas seasons.
Which colourway will you choose? Perhaps, like, me, you'll
enjoy stitching both of them and give the red and green
version away to your dearest friend for Christmas! You will
be proud to use this elegant set at your next guild meeting
or stitcher’s gathering! Have fun stitching! :) - 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.
The Needlepoint Inc has 8 strands per length
The Kreinik Mori has 6 strands per length
The Gloriana Overdyed Silk has 12 thin 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!
