DMC Color News

DMC colors are changing again, spurred by new European Union rules that mean certain dyes are banned, so some colors are being discontinued and some will have distinct dye lot changes.  When my friend Pat explained this to me I didn't understand it but seeing it all written out on Quail Run's Facebook page, I think I get it.

Melita posted this photo of the discontinued colors and the shades that are very close to them.

Suzanne is a big fan of Velvet Stitch for Santa beards.   When you see how wonderfully her latest Santa beard turned out, I think you will want to bookmark this and study her tips carefully before starting your next beard.
