Colour Variations is designed to be stitched using any embroidery technique, its colour combinations will always show. DMC Colour Variations Floss offers fun and faster stitching thanks to fewer colour changes and innovative designs; no two stitched pieces are the same.

For counted cross stitch designs there are two ways to form your stitches:

• One cross-stitch at a time: by completing each stitch individually, Colour Variations will distinctly graduate into the thread’s next colour. This method gives you more control over the placement of the variation in the thread.
• Standard method: by stitching a row of half-cross stitches in a row from left to right and completing each stitch on the return, threads will create a tweeded or blended look of softly mixed colours when completed.

If your Colour Variations threads become twisted while stitching, simply drop the needle and allow the threads to unwind itself.To assure you get the best results, take your time. By stitching slowly, youll have better control over the placement and laying of your stitches.

CARE & WASHING

DMC Colour Variations is 100% colourfast and can be washed in warm water 60C. Particular attention should be paid to the fabric on which the thread was embroidered. Wash your embroidery with one teaspoon of mild soap. After washing, gently wring it out and rinse it as many times as necessary to get the soap out of it (until the water is clear). Use almost cold water to rinse the piece. Wrap the embroidery in a towel to remove excess water, then dry flat. Place the embroidery on a clean towel, preferably while still damp, and iron on the reverse side, at the temperature setting recommended for the fabric.
