It is always fun to see a HARDANGER sample using Colour Complements threads.
Hardanger is a form of embroidery traditionally worked with white thread on even-weave linen or cloth. It consists of counted and drawn thread work techniques. It is sometimes called whitework embroidery. I am always thrilled to see traditional styles stitched with my threads.

Marie stitched this bookmark using Colour Complements Colour #56. Colour #56 is one of three colours in my new fall collection. It is a beautiful blend of golden brown, golden yellow and a teal blue grey. Marie used size 8 perle cotton on a base of 25 count linen. The pattern is available in the Basics & Beyond Hardanger by Janice Love. You can order it at your local needlework or online at Amazon.
Colour #56 could easily be combined with a solid golden brown or perhaps golden yellow. If you wanted to draw out the teal grey then opt for blues that have a grey tint.
You will find other Hardanger samples on the blog HERE. Perhaps you might like to try Hardanger using Colour Complements threads yourself?
Thank you Marie.
