Color Guide: French Hen

Felt bundle photos courtesy of Benzie Design

This ten-color collection of felt and floss especially made for my French Hen pattern has been available in Benzie Design’s shop for a few weeks but now I have some gorgeous photos to show you of the bundle itself. Isn’t it pretty?

Benzie felt colors:
Chartreuse
Julep
Blue Spruce
Aqua
Coral
Swan
Orange
Mustard
Bronze
Copper

Now I can share the felt and floss colors I used for the contrast embroidery, just in case you’d like to make two ornaments that look like mine shown above! See below.

You can purchase this Benzie felt bundle with or without the matching flosses. You’ll need matching floss anyway to sew your ornaments together, so having the pre-matched flosses comes in handy! NOTE: You will still need to purchase floss for the contrast decorative embroidery. See colors below.
