| Full range of Coloris threads by DMC |
I recently
was asked by DMC’s US Product Development office if I
wanted to design a cross stitch pattern for them using their new Coloris
threads.
Anyone who knows me is aware that I
basically only use DMC threads, apart for when I want to stitch with silk… which sadly DMC does not have. ( Dream… a full
range of silk embroidery floss, that match their classic colour range )
Coloris is very different from the regular
variegated embroidery floss, in that it is not limited to a variety of tones
from the same colour, it’s made up of four different, yet complimentary colours.
The change is also quite rapid, about
every 5-7 stitches you have new colour starting. This makes for quite a
dramatic, fun or colourful effect, depending on the colour chosen.
I received a
complimentary set of the 24 different colors, and a piece of white DMC Monaco cotton evenweave, which I will be using for the
original design plan...
Coloris is a range of embroidery floss that I would recommend for adding 'interest' to a cross stitch project, or for monochrome patterns... but best of all, I think they are perfect for a modern take on traditional samplers..... the embroidery floss have given me a little idea, and in the near futur I will be sharing a CSA (Cross Stitch Along) with you all.

It’s a little
hard to choose favorites, as each embroidery floss is perfects in its own place
and usage, but if I had to choose these would be preference:
-

-
Heather

-
Hydrangea

-
Paris
