I thought it was bizzare that themagazine actually specified for you to get the 3 ply balls instead of the 6 strand skeins.............
But maybe this will help some of you that want to convert the floss:

Fantastic! I can already think of some GAST, Weeks, Crescent and Carries threads I might already have in my stash.

Yeah, I was pissed about them recommending the 3 strand too. Fortunately it's not a large project so I won't be wasting *TOO* much thread...I can use
what I have left on higher count projects where 1 strand works.

Emily - if you haven't already ordered your floss, you can get the same colors in 6 strand floss (like I pictured)...

I got my package from Drema and she ordered the 3 strand since she doesn't usually carry Valdani. it's not a biggie but I do think it was ridiculous of
Nora or CS+N to list the 3 strand....

Emily, if you find that you have too much extra floss, feel free to make a second Fairy for me!

But it won't be extra usable floss, it'll be the lonely overdyed third strand from each length....grrrr.

Emily, I just ordered the package from Drema. Did you get the fabric? If so, did you like it? I am not to bothered if it is 3 ply. Like what other designs call
for this Valdani thread anyway? Julia :-)

I did, I like copper penny. i have it for something else and it's quite nice. I don't *really* mind, once I finish the SF, I'll just use the thread
for projects on higher linen counts where 1 strand works. I just think it was a BS choice to specify the 3 strand.

I bought WDW Autumn Leaves but I didn't think it looked quite right, I don't have a thread preference. I probably would have a dmc in my house that
I could use tonight or I could go to the store tomorrow and buy a varigated.
Thanks! |

DMC Color Variations #4100 looks very similar, maybe a tad lighter; I think it would be pretty.

I'd say WDW Marigold or HotRod (a retired color).

I would be willing to do half skeins with someone if interested. Mine should be arriving next week.

When anyone is done with their mag and want to trade/sell it I would be interested. I inherited a lot of floss and could exchange the colors to maybe six
strand sweet or something.
