Click here to see which Curious Cowgirl Needlepoint Canvases are currently available!



Mentioned in This Episode:

  • According to Google:
  • For 10-14 Mesh Canvas (Belts, Pillows, Rugs):
    • DMC Tapestry Wool: The best choice for durability and excellent coverage, especially for items requiring heavy use.
    • DMC Pearl Cotton (Size 3): Good for 13 mesh, offering a sheen and easy stitching without needing to ply strands.
  • For 13-18 Mesh Canvas (Ornaments, Detailed Work):
    • DMC Pearl Cotton (Size 5): Ideal for 18-count canvas, providing a smooth, pearl-like finish.
    • DMC Six-Strand Embroidery Floss: A versatile, cost-effective option. Use 4-6 strands for 13 mesh, and 2-4 strands for 18 mesh.

Summary of Recommendations:

  • 13 Mesh: Use DMC Tapestry Wool (1 strand) or Pearl Cotton Size 3.
  • 18 Mesh: Use DMC Pearl Cotton Size 5 or 3-4 strands of DMC Embroidery Floss.
