Question
Hi! I am doing a cross stitch project which calls for tweeding. The instructions on the pattern are not clear whether tweeding involves a full cross stitch or a half one. Is tweeding applied to full cross stitches only? Please help.
P.S. Pattern in Valley of the River Beck.
Thank you so much for your time.

First let me apologize for taking so long to get back to you. It has a been very busy here. Now to answer your question. Tweeding is just using one strand each of two different colors. You work them like whole cross stitches unless the pattern calls for half or quarter stitches. If there are half or quarter stitches in the area that you are working with the tweeding do those with the blended thread also.
I hope this was helpful!
Happy Stitching!
