Question
I am trying to stitch a kleenex box using plastic canvas. I am trying to find a dark peach for peaches on the design. I have found one shade but can't find a dark one. Any suggestions about colors to make a peach look realistic? I need about 2 or 3 shades.
Hello, Patricia
I'm not sure if you're using DMC embroidery threads for your project, or if you're using the acrylic wool blend. The only suggestion that I have for you is perhaps check out Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and Yarn Barn (online, or in the store if you have one close to you). Yarn Barn's website is:

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