Free Friendship Saying Bookmark Pattern

Tuesday June 23, 2009
I really enjoy trying out different flosses and fibers after mostly stitching with cotton floss for years. Recently I had a chance to stitch with some floss made of soy.

Not only is this floss earth-friendly, it is strong and very nice to stitch with. I was able to frog and re-use a strand, something I usually avoid with cotton and silk floss. Learn more about the floss, Soy Lustre, at The Pure Palette.

The project I stitched up with the SoyLustre is the free Friendship Saying Bookmark Pattern. I used two colors of the floss for the project. Of course you may stitch it with the floss colors and types of your choice.

Have you tried soy floss or other organic flosses? Tell us about it in the comments section below.
