Thrifted Threads, literally

On a recent thrift store round, I found some DMC perle cottons and rayon stranded thread, priced very affordably. I have a lot of regular cotton 6 stranded threads but I haven't actually seen DMC rayon thread before. So of course I bought as much as I could. It's so shiny! 

I'm looking forward to experimenting a bit and seeing how I like working with it. Maybe I will even use it on my next project, one I've designed for myself. Here's a sneak peek. 

I first designed the colour version in Canva, then made a line drawing from it that I will use for the pattern. The original can serve as colour inspiration. I'm planning on doing a lot of sampler style filling stitches according to whim, as I go. Once I start on it I will also start sharing my progress! Can't wait to show it to you :)
