Felicity's Garden©, 50/50 Silk & Wool
"One strand to perfection on #18 mesh!©"
Available in 40-yard skeins for $5.00 (suggested retail) or 20-yard skeins for $2.70 (suggested retail).

Felicity's Garden© is a needlework yarn of pure elegance:  It is the yarn with the "Inner Glow©."  Our setting
for this yarn is a beautiful garden.  It may be a sunny afternoon or a moonlit evening.  Enter our garden
of creation, and let your imagination be your guide.

Felicity's Garden© is 50% Chinese silk and 50% Australian Merino wool.  It is a thread of supreme
quality.  It is also a thread of superb strength.  The pairing of the beautiful merino wool with the luminous silk gives this yarn a strength that would not be accomplished without this 50/50 combination.  The excellent spinning of this yarn also makes Felicity's Garden unique in its category.  There really is no substitute for this gorgeous yarn that is often known as the yarn with the "Inner Glow©." The luminosity, beauty, and strength of this thread is the result of two of the world's most
precious fibers joining forces.  The fibers that are processed into Felicity's Garden© are the best of
the best, carefully selected in world fiber markets.  Our buyers are experienced and know what will
spin and dye to the levels of perfection that we require.  The fine quality and beauty of Felicity's Garden has been
recognized in many publications by some of the top stitchers, teachers, and designers in the industry, such as
"The Thread Thesaurus" produced by the Thread Technique Team, Ann Caswell, Suzanne Howren, and
Beth Robertson. 

Felicity's Garden© takes its cue from nature, offering a wealth of shading possibilities, often times with
a "pivotal color" being able to move in two directions.  We offer the following color chart which shows
our colors numerically.   With the second set of color charts we show potential color palette layout for shading. 
This palette shows how yarns can be shaded to duplicate nature and the light play it possesses. 
Further shading may be accomplished by the use of Newport Harbor and our new offering, Felicity's Duets©.

Felicity's Garden© will stitch to perfection with one strand on #18 mesh.  Two strands will stitch tent to
perfection on #14 and #12.  Plying up to three strands on #10 will provide excellent coverage.  Felicity's
Garden© is an excellent yarn for working a potpourri of stitches. Bargello and diaper patterns are beautifully
worked in this yarn, particularly when the Duet Palette© is included.  Felicity's Garden© is a yarn that has been
spun to perfection.  It is not a yarn that is meant to be destroyed by separating, but it can be plied as needed to
meet mesh requirements.  When a finished product of a finished yarn is divided down, the twist and strength
of the yarn is destroyed.  Felicity's Garden© is a yarn that will accommodate your stitching needs, without destroying
the beautiful twist of the finished product.  Yarn should never be divided below the twist of the yarn itself.  By doing
so, you have destroyed the strength and beauty of the yarn itself.  We invite you to go further into our
website, print out and read our information about Felicity's Garden© spinning and dying.  We invite you to use

Stitchers Are Raving About Felicity's Garden!

"Without question, my favorite silk and wool is Felicity's Garden.  I love everything about it.  I love the
weight, the feel and the absolutely gorgeous luster.  I sing its praises to everyone I know.  It has characteristics
that no other thread has.  Its appearance is different and noteworthy.  It is not variegated, but has an interest
that is so unique.  I am writing to you because I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your yarn.
I have a huge "stash" along with my canvas stash, and have just pulled a new project out which made me want
to write to you.  So happy you're still here and doing well."  - J.S., New York

"I love your yarn.  I love Felicity's Garden!  I have enjoyed it from the first minute I stitched with it, and I will
now purchase every color.  We don't have a shop where I live, but there is one where I go on vacation, and will
stock up whenever I am there.  Glad you put out such a wonderful yarn."  - Kay K. (via e-mail)

Stitching Information
Needlepoint Canvas Requirements & How Felicity's Garden© Will Fit.

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.
