Vibrant Valdani

Autumn is not quite over - or I am in severe denial!  There are still a very few of these glorious Japanese Maple leaves around.  I cannot get over the red-red-red leaves of this magnificent tree.

The thread that Sis brought is Valdani #12 and I had to try it right away.  It is a two ply, very soft, inconsistent in texture.  Yet, the stitches look good if I tat very tightly and concentrate on getting a consistent tension.  I love the colours, which are very saturated and rich.

It is a different look and the thread though cotton seems to act like a very fine lace weight wool...
