this is more true to nature and life , different shades are lovely and make a work look more lively , my only advice is to Mix rows from different skeins so the variation of the black will seen real natural .

Sorry, but there's no variation - just a very noticeable line of demarcation where I ended one shade and started the other. I'm tearing out all that now - must be a few thousand stitches and am not happy. I should've known better and noticed sooner. Any tips of easier was to tear out? I've used tiny scissors and am going to experiment with a seam ripper. Hope I don't cut the canvas.

I still haven't located any black - need to make a special trip or send for it and don't want to chance something by mail and have IT not match.

Does any project go perfectly?

I pick it out with a tapestry needle, that way I don't tear the
canvas. I hate you have to go thru this. Just be patient, and make
sure you get enough black for the replacement.
