Poll - Do You Stitch With Variegated Floss?

Monday May 25, 2009
I have always enjoyed the look of projects stitched with variegated floss. Projects stitched with the floss have a unique look that cannot be easily recreated with regular embroidery floss.


Variegated floss is available from most floss manufacturers. I have been on a variegated floss binge for several years and have stitched with lots of brands - haven't found one I wouldn't recommend yet.

Examples of Projects Stitched With Variegated Floss:
Ruffled Diamond
Yummy Watermelon
Back Stitch Ornaments

I have written up some tips for working with variegated flosses. You have a chance to share your own tips about working with variegated flosses as well.
How often do you stitch with variegated flosses? Vote in the poll and let us know.
