I am working on a floral piece of crewel embroidery and changed the original colors of the flowers. I originally bought an orangey-yellow but decided I really did NOT like the color so I changed it to #232, a lovely light yellow, instead. I am much happier with this color. In fact, I changed ALL the flower colors, even the red and brown centers to a red and brown I liked. These wools are so nice to work with! I have been shown wools from Italy that are much, much thinner but I prefer these. They are bringing the cost of the piece up a lot but are most definitely worth it. Heirloom quality!
