Fiber Talk

Canvas #2: Reading Charts and Using Laying Tools

Listen Later

It’s time for our second Fiber Talk Canvas show. It’s a long one. This month we talk about canvas supply and thread costs. Don’t blame your LNS owner. Then, at the 20-min. mark, we have an extended discussion about how to read charts for those stitches that look so complicated but aren’t. At the 1-hr. point, thanks to listener requests, we do an extended segment about laying tools and how to use them. As always, leave your thoughts and suggestions for future topics in the comment section.—Cindy and Gary

Cindy’s laying tools:

  • Island House Needlepoint laying tools
  • Merry L Needlework laying tools are sold wholesale only so ask your LNS to order one for you.
