I have bundled some of my favourite DMC colours here. As it's 'single colour month' on the blog I had to restrict myself and only picked shades of blue. I think 3811 is my very favourite of this lot, it has a hint of green just like it's 'neighbours' 3809 and 3810. Number 3811 is described as Very Light Turquoise in the (semi) official lists but I like to give my flosses more poetic names. How about Frosty Sea Foam? Actually I would gladly re-name all of the floss colours if someone asked me! What's your favourite shade of blue and how would you describe it?
You can share a picture in the &Stitches Flickr group. We'd love to see it!
I would say DMC 827 is probably my favourite and I would probably call it Angel frost as it's such a calm pale blue,Cassandraxx
ReplyDeleteyes! Angel Frost is much better than the official 'Very Light Blue' :) Btw this reminds me of the Sublime Stitching floss, all the different flosses have very apt names as well.
DeleteI love the DMC electric blues, 995, 996 & 3843. Especially 995.
ReplyDeleteThey all combine great as well! (next to each other in the DMC 'floss book')
