Rainbow Gallery Very Velvet Fiber – Thread – Needlepoint – Embroidery
You are bidding on 1 card of Rainbow Gallery Very Velvet Fiber, both regular and petite are listed. Each card has 15 yards. Here is the information from the manufacturer’s web site:Petite Size Very Velvet informationThe Petite size of Very Velvet comes in the same color range as the regular Very Velvet. This size is better for doing basket weave or tent stitches on 18 count canvas. The regular size Very Velvet was a bit hard to manage on 18 count when doing tent stitches and they looked a bit packed. You may also use this size for longer stitches or use the regular size for satin stitches. The colors march. The hints for the Very Velvet apply here also. (Needlepoint 18 count, Cross Stitch 9 & 10 Count and over two on 18 Count) Regular Size Very Velvet informationThis is a fuzzy, beautiful velour yarn. It maintains its shape and thickness throughout its length. Use a rather large needle and a short tail. It does not come apart while stitching, but it may shred behind the eye of the needle. If this happens move the needle forward a half inch or so and it will not unthread. Very Velvet is colorfast and should not bleed, however, always test first. If your test produces some color it is likely some of the fine hairs pulled out. These can be flicked away leaving no dye behind. The color should remain consistent with very little dye lot variations. This size is a little tight on 18 count when doing a tent stitch. You might want to use the Petite Very Velvet for basketweave and this size for any long stitches. When preparing this fiber to be stitched, take a length off the card and run your fingernail over it a couple of times. This should remove any kinks and any excess flakes. Come straight up and down through the canvas and guide the Very Velvet with your free hand.
