After Dark Blackwork Sampler
After Dark Blackwork Sampler
70 different pattern options!
This saucy sampler has a huge amount of options to make it as inclusive as possible. I have purposely not specified colours as this is a stash buster piece. It has been designed to fit into a standard frame, so there isn't a need for costly specialist framing. Depending on your stitching style, this uses under 2 skeins of floss using the assumption you are stitching on 14ct with a single strand. This sampler has fractional stitches (I have a guide on YouTube to demonstrate fractional stitches), so working on 14ct or 28ct stitching over 2 is advised.
