About Angela
Expertise
I have 22+ years of cross stitching experience, which includes stitching on Aida, evenweave linen, vinyl canvas, and have stitched a design on a cotton t-shirt using waste canvas. I have also worked with beads and blending filament in quite a few projects. I have made many projects which include cross stitched mugs, a keychain, pictures, magnets, and the cotton t-shirt. I can answer questions pertaining to preparing and cleaning fabric, preparing clothing for stitching, how many threads to be used on which Aida cloth, and will try to help you to the best of my ability with other questions you may have. I am prompt in my responses and usually answer within 24 hours from when you ask your question. I look forward to helping you. :)

Question
Hi I have a color chart for my project and it tells me to use DMC floss color 032 Kreinik #4 what is that I can't find it at any store or online can you help me find the correct color for my project? Thanks hope you can help

Answer
Hello, Jacque

The "DMC floss color 032 Kreinik #4" is actually not a DMC color at all.  It's a braid that is used to highlight your project.  You use that along with the floss color that the pattern is suggesting (ie. 2 strands of white with 1 strand of the Kreinik #032).  It adds some sparkle to your project.  It's extremely time consuming to work with, and you'll need to let your needle hang to make sure that it untwists as you're working.  However, when the project is finished, it'll be beautiful.

You can find it here:

And here are the care instructions for it:

I hope that helps.  Good luck, and happy stitching! :)

Sincerely,

Angela
