Review on Colorful Mill Hill Counted Cross Stitch Pumpkin TR for Vibrant Fall Décor by Linda Diaz

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Love the pattern, problem is sorting the thread

Patterns from Mill HIll are cute and easy. My problem, and I wrote to the company, is that the thread comes in all colors mixed. The problem is trying to figure out the colors. Some are obvious. But there are other colors that are very similar in tone. I wind spools of white thread, sort them by color and compare them in bright light, but sometimes I'm still not sure. This is a DMC floss but the names of the colors listed in the set are different from the names used by DMC. The numbers are the same. I tried using the DMC filament online demo to see if I could get the colors right but it didn't work. The extra "buttons" that come with some kits are problematic in the sense that some of them look good and some don't, and ruin the overall look in my opinion.

Pros
  • Counted Kits
Cons
  • Price Piggy Bank
