Floss question re Thimbelina: Lynne Nicoletti
I'm stitching on Thimbelina, and I hae a question regarding the
fleshtones. I'm currently on legs. The colors used, from outside edge to innermost area, are (solid circle with line) DMC 3773, (hollow diamond) 950, and (hollow circle) 3774. The color picture shows that the outer edge is darkest and lightens to the middle. However, the flosses (unless I have something mislabeled) are 3774 darkest, then 3773 and finally 950. Obviously, I'm going to be redoing the portion of leg I've already done to make the actual colors match what they should be for shading. However, I have two questions: Is the usage of these three colors and symbols consistent - i.e., can I completely switch symbols based solely on this leg or must I manually compare every section that uses fleshtones? Is is possible - oh the horror!!! - I have a misprinted copy?

Looking at my DMC chart, these three are next to each other. 3773 is
darkest, then 950, then 3774. HTH. Jenn Liace ) writes: I'm stitching on Thimbelina, and I hae a question regarding the fleshtones. I'm currently on legs.

I would suspect you labeled your floss wrong.
The color picture shows that the outer edge is darkest and lightens to the middle. IMHO This hi-lights the inner part making it appear a bit 3-d. The light part appears to be closer to the eye. The front of the leg would appear like this )-lightest. The darkest part appears to be further away. If the inner part was darkest and the outer edge lightest the leg would look like this (-darkest. IMHO I think the picture is also correct but I've never seen it. Fred http://www.stitchaway.com W.I.P. - "Fiddler on the Roof".
