Stitch Count: 140 stitches wide by 159 stitches high
There are several variations for this sampler.
Floss choices are two DMC versions, the front of the sampler and the none faded back of the sampler. Additionally, I am including the colors for Au ver a soie Fine d'Aubusson Wool as the original was stitched in wool on roughly 30ct linen with the original size being 9.25 x 10.5 On 28ct the finished piece will be 10 x 11.5. If you are using wool, I would not go smaller than 28ct otherwise the wool will be too thick, especially if you are planning on stitching over one. It might be doable in 32ct if you choose to stitch the over-one section as a half-cross stitch.
If using floss/silk, you can choose to stitch on a finer count (measurements below)
16/32ct - 8.75 x 10 inches + 6 inches all around
18/36ct - 7.75 x 8.75 inches + 6 inches all around
20/40ct - 7 x 8 inches + 6 inches all around
46ct linen - 6 X 7 inches + 6 inches all around
**The floss version model is stitched on 32ct beautiful beige linen, and the wool model is 28ct tea-dyed Irish linen.
The pattern consists of a color image of the finished design, instructions, and a list of floss colors; A color & black and white symbol chart spread over several A4 sheets for printing. A single page of the pattern is also included.
Thank you and happy stitching!
