Felicity's Garden© Duets
Available in 40-yard skeins for $5.00 each (suggested retail).

Felicity's Garden© is a potpourri of magnificent and expertly-designed and considered color.  Our
newest addition to the Felicity's Garden© line encourages the stitcher to consider new possibilities
and think with color on your mind. . .

     Felicity's Garden© is a gorgeous combination of silk and merino wool.  When dyed, the fibers receive their colors differently.  When two colors from the Felicity's Garden© palette are combined in a needle at the same time and then stitched, they create a beautiful shaded new color.  Please look through our samples. 

     The idea behind "Duets©" is to present the unique and surprising new colors so shop owners and stitchers don't have to create these combinations on their own.  They are viewable for a customer to consider when selecting fiber and colors for their canvas.  They have been conceived and are presented by our color designer.  When stitched with, as you will notice from our samples, the blended colors are consistent throughout.  There are no "splotches" of color.  Color changes occur depending upon how the stitcher delivers his/her thread to the canvas.  In other words, when stitching, allowing the needle to twist one way or another between thumb and forefinger, will determine how color is delivered.  You may choose to surface one color or another, or consistently be different.  Different stitches will also move the colors in unique ways.

     Our yarn is of superb quality.  It is masterfully spun and dyed here in the United States.  Because of the perfect spinning, one strand of this yarn when plied with another will "marry" beautifully.  Stitching is easy and the newly created color offers an entirely new look.  These combinations will add interest to either design or background.  With the two colors working in the needle at the same time, your ability to move color through your needlework is enhanced.

     The sixty-five colors of Felicity's Garden© offers obvious color movement, but by plying, the palette is enormously expanded.  Our selections are created for your visual ease.  It is likely we have paired colors that perhaps in casual observation you may not see.  We studied carefully to arrive at our own "Duets©" combinations.  Consider the magic of these paired colors in any of your stitchery, but also consider the magic that will be created in bargello and diaper patterns.

     Any of the Felicity yarn colors can be paired, but we invite you to work with our combinations.  Visually, the "Duets©" will be easy to "audition" for your stitching needs.  Look at them as the unique and beautifully blended colors they are.  The consistency achieved when stitching with Duets© gives each stitch a wonderful similarity that is different than variegated thread.  This stitching method puts you in control.  When viewing our palette of Duets©, it is difficult to believe it has been prepared from existing
colors.  It is being offered in this way to show the extended color perspective of this yarn palette.

     This is an excellent asset to both shops and stitchers.  Often people need professional guidance in mixing colors, and this is what Felicity's Garden Duets© has to offer.  Every selection is deliberate, color balanced, and well conceived.

     Felicity's Garden Duets© are 40-yard skeins with equal parts of the two combined colors.  Our new offering makes any stitcher a color artist.

Always cut our prepared length in half so as not to cause unnecessary wear.

      #18 Mesh Needlepoint Canvas – 1 single strand works extremely well in most cases on this mesh.  A single will work all tent stitches to perfection (continental, half-cross, and basketweave).  Decorative stitches are also easily worked (Scotch, mosaic, Milanese, Rhodes , etc.).  Double brick coverage is a little light with a single, but with underlying paint has a nice effect. 

      #14 Mesh Needlepoint Canvas – 1 single provides light but nice coverage in the tents.  Two singles plied cover easily and would provide further coverage.  Decorative stitches work well in one or two ply depending on the stitch.  It ultimately is your choice.

            #12 Mesh Needlepoint Canvas – 2 strands in the tent stitches work to perfection.  Decorative stitches need to be plied accordingly.

            #10 Mesh Needlepoint Canvas - Please use 3 strands for basketweave.  Decorative stitches generally require two to three ply, depending on whether the stitch is an eyelet, diagonal or vertical.

For Your Information. . .
Neither our manufacturer nor Rosebud's Studio can be held responsible for color fastness if yarn is immersed
in water.  We recommend testing your yarn prior to stitching.  If wet-blocking is planned, our yarn is said to be
by our manufacturer "permanent color fast," but it is not impossible with the strict regulations imposed by the EPA
on dying chemicals, that a color that is not fast could slip through.  Our observations in testing this yarn and the
confidence of our manufacturer tell us there should be no problem with this yarn.  With stitching today including all
the fibers that it does, one would want to take precautions in advance of work being done, and washing would never be recommended.  Textile work should be handled and displayed with respect.  As always, fibers and
fine needlework should be kept out of direct sunlight.  Always plan enough yarn for projects as dye lots can change.
And after all that; for the safest bet, assume that all yarns have the ability through the knotted hank dying process
to have the ability to bleed, especially reds and blues.
