Question regarding penelope 10/20 Canvas and DMC Perle Cotton Thread
Hello,
I just received a medival tapestry in blues and reds which I think would look great in Perle Cotton thread. I plan on doing the needlepoint in petite point by splitting the 10/20 penelope canvas. I have just finished another tapestry using this same technique but using DMC floss in which I used 4 strands of floss which worked well before but did run a little thin near the end of the 18" long pieces I was using. But I don't know whether I need to buy #5 or #8 Perle Cotton. Does anyone know which size will be closest to the 4 strands of regular floss that I used previously? I really need some help and advice on this, because I have to order all the floss via the web at once, and it will be non-returnable. Unfortunately, I can't see the thread before I order it since it's not available where I am located. Also, can anyone tell me whether they think the Perle cotton will look good in a tapestry or will it be too shiny? Thanks in advance for any advice and opinions! c_bowlin |
