The model uses 36-count, Light Examplar hand-dyed linen from Lakeside Linens, who are doing a custom cut for this design. The custom cut is 20x27, which is enough room to frame the piece without a mat. If you're not sure how you are going to frame it we suggest purchasing a Stitcher's Half, which is 36 x 27. We have both sizes in the 36 count. If you're looking to do the piece on another count, check the table above for your best size option.
The model is stitched using Needlepoint Inc. silk threads. Below is the list of the 55 colors and the quantity needed for stitching it on 36 count linen. DMC substitutions will be provided on the chart.
