- but using them effectively can be a challenge. Unlike variegated threads, which are machine dyed & have definite blocks of colour, space-dyed threads (machine or h&-dyed) are more subtle as the colours bleed into each other

On canvaswork, a single stitch such as cushion stitch is used to great effect, & the nuances of colour found in a single skein work beautifully in blackwork. Hardanger, Casalguidi, crewelwork, stumpwork & ribbon embroidery all benefit from the gentle hues, & the spectacle case & evening bag by Gay Booysen are quite delightful. This gorgeous book will encourage you to sue some of those mouth-watering threads youve been hoarding...or even give you an excuse to buy some more! --Stitch
