These two bands are so close together, and so similar, that I am going to cover them in the same post. They sit at the top of section 27. The first is a row of double herringbone and second row is overlapped herringbone.

Thread:

The first row is worked in hand dyed wool for the first row of herringbone . The second row I threaded some metallic thread and cotton in the same needle and worked the line.

The second band of overlapped herringbone stitch is worked in 4 colours of cotton perle 5
