Have I mentioned lately how much I love variegated flosses? The free Mayan Temple Pattern is shown here as stitched with two strands of Gloriana 12-ply silk floss. The yummy color is Cranberry (#062). It has a slight variation in color that gives a rich look to this simple design.

What a nice pattern! You’re right, the floss color sets it off perfectly.
The cranberry is a yummy color, but I can also see this pattern done in earth colors.
This subtle variegation is so much nicer than the early days of variegated floss and yarns! I love how it adds a subtle richness — Elegant!!
This looks so intricate and I love the colors!
It reminds me of the mandalas we made with yarn and Popsicle sticks in elementary school.
The color is divine and that pattern seems really complicated. It looks great!
You are endlessly creative. I’d love to know practical uses for these little gems.
That’s a very attractive pattern, and the color is great too!
