This is the second design in The Red and The Black sampler series. The model was stitched on 40 count Vintage Autumn Gold using one strand of silk over two threads of linen. Suggested substitute is Vintage Belfast 32-count Antique Yellow linen (3609-2019) The threads used are Splendor Silk #S801 and S911 (or DMC floss #310 and 666). If you are matching this piece to the original The Red and The Black you may want to use that red, Needlepoint Silk #502 (or #503). The design size on 40 count is 5.4" x 10", or 109 x 201 stitches.
