This was the last Easter basket that I had to stictch, and decided to try varigated thread. I had tried another brand of thread, and did not notice that it was so much smaller than what I normally buy. But, it took three spools of that thread to complete this basket, and luckily I was able to get the third spool. Bet I learned with this one to watch the yardage on spools of thread now. But - I did like the way that it turned out, and my granddaughter really liked it.

This came from EmbLibrary (www.emblibrary.com) - I bought two different design singles for Easter gifts for the grands.

dlonna, it turned out great - I am sure that the kind of thread that you choose wasn't embroidery thread, more than likely just a regular varigated thread - but you learned alot with this project didn't you? The outcome is wonderful and I can see why your granddaughter adored it. Very cute. I would love to try one of these. *4U

No - it was an embroidery thread but only had 500 yds on a spool. It was made by Signature, and was 30 WT - wanted to try it - and know the results now. Still stitched out pretty I thought.
