Botanical Stitch Color Palette

Botanical Muted stitch color palette Makenstitch

Bright and delicate color palette inspired by this beautiful old illustration of scarlet pea-shaped flowers. This botanical stitch color palette combines muted shades with a splash of bright and dark red. Oh, and I think I have a new color crush, it’s called Cranberry Light!

DMC TO ANCHOR FLOSS CONVERSION CHART

DMC and Anchor are the most commonly used brands of stranded cotton. They both have a wide variety of colors and are made of good-quality stranded cotton. The thread is comprised of six strands, which can be easily separated as you might want to stitch with less than 6 strands depending on your project.

You can use both brands together for a project, for example, substitute one shade of DMC floss with ANCHOR floss, but please note that is not possible to provide a perfect color match between brands.

The Botanical Stitch Color Palette uses the following shades of thread: Bright Red, Red Dark, Cranberry Light, White Violet, Forest Green Light, and Celadon Green Medium.

Feel free to adapt these color suggestions to suit your projects.
