Stitch:
A variety of Laced Triple Running stitch. I started this sampler with a triple running stitch and laced it with a chenille knitting yarn.
There are a good few ways to lace and thread running stitch some of which are listed in my stitch dictionary at the time (1996) I was exploring what could be done.
Thread:
Hand dyed cotton (crochet thread) for the running stitches
Hand dyed chenille yarn was used for the lacing. It is quite thick as it is a knitting yarn approximately equal to 8 ply.
Fabric:
The first section is Linen. It is a dress linen which is not quite an even weave, hand painted with procion cold water dyes.
Dyes:
Procion cold water dyes
Size:
All samples are 15 cm (6 inches) wide and stitched together in one long band sampler.
