I forgot to do the string count - or the number of floss cards used, I guess I should say.
First of all, I changed a lot of the colors. The original design called for these overdye colors as an option tot he DMC:
Cidermill Brown
Buckeye Scarlet
Straw Bonnet
Presidential Blue
Morning Glory
Tutti Fruitti
Raven
I hated that Cidermill Brown in this use. It was called for in the tigers and you'll recall that I ended up overdying those orange myself cause they just drove me nuts. Whoever heard of brown tigers!? A great color match is Pumpkin Patch which I ended up using in different places throughout, but I'd used that Cidermill Brown too; so, I'm calculating that as if I'd used it from the beginning.
I also added some colors - for color! I added Tiger Lily and Butternut Squash. Finally, if I were doing this all over again, instead of using Raven, I'd use just regular old DMC 310 (black). That's because Raven has apparently changed a little bit in its makeup. Now it's green AND black and that just doesn't really suit this design. It's also cheaper to use the DMC.
So, final count:
Raven: 30 5-yard skeins
Butternut Squash: 2 5-yard skeins
Pumpkin Patch 6 5-yard skeins
Tiger Lily 10 5-yard skeins
Buckyeye Scarlet 3 5-yard skeins
Strawbonnet 3 5-yard skeins
Presidential Blue - 4 5-yard skeins
Morning Glory 4 5-yard skeins
Tutti Fruitti 4 5-yard skeins.
Hope you enjoyed!
