The Black Swan Color Guide
Hey, I’ve had some requests about the black/grey Swan a-Swimming sample I made so I thought I’d put this color guide together for you.
Benzie Design wool felt colors:
Body and flower center: Black
Wings: Graphite
Neck band: Moss
Beak and inner flower petals: Persimmon
Outer flower petals: Carmine
Water: Teal
DMC contrast decorative floss colors:
DMC white
DMC 606 orange red
DMC 943 teal
DMC 3851 lighter teal (neck band)
DMC 581 olive green (on the wing)
DMC 580 olive green (on the body)
And of course you’ll also need matching thread or floss to sew the felt parts together.
Have fun sewing!
this is fantastic.
:0) Thanks so much, Rosemary! You are always so sweet.
Thank you!!!!! 🙂
That swan is BEAUUUUUTIFUL. I've been a bad blog following friend lately. Catching up now…!
I am doing your sew along. So I need to purchase colors from Felt on the Fly for the Swan. I take it these colors are different than DMC?
Hi, Cecelia, the floss colors are DMC. They are listed below the felt colors in the post. Yes, for this particular Swan, some of the colors used are from Felt On The Fly.
You can find the sew along on the Feeling Stitchy blog. 🙂
