Indeed all Galliana charts are monochrome and can be stitched using any count of fabric & floss of your choice. It's up to you how the stitched piece will turn out as you can truly personalise the design either stitching it all in one colour, maybe use two contrasting colours, variegated flosses or even a whole range of different colours.
The Guide includes suggestions fsuch as stitching with:
- a single solid color:
> how to pair fabric and color
- a single variegated thread:
> how to use the different hues to control areas or add more random
- a mix of overdyed and solid floss colors:
> how to create a consistent palette using a color card
- a mix of solid colors:
> how to determine areas of color
This guide and all patterns on Creative Poppy's website are printable and available for instant download.
