Milan Card - Lichen 2686

I was a little worried the Lichen color would look dull in person, but it’s actually a gorgeous muted green with subtle silk sheen. It glides through 18 mesh without fraying, and the wool-silk blend has just enough grip for secure stitches.

The color "Lichen" is such a perfect muted green for my botanical piece, and the silk/wool blend has a lovely, soft sheen. It splits just enough on 18 mesh to give great coverage without being a hassle, and the 10-yard skein was exactly enough for my details.

I'm using this on 18 mesh and the coverage is perfect—just enough body without being bulky. The lichen color is richer in person than on screen, though the dye lot variation is worth noting.
