Your projects are looking great. 3882 is one of a limited release available only in certain countries. I found it in one of the "new color packs" at my local JoAnns a couple of years ago. Given how much I needed and the issue of buy all the extras.... I just checked the DMC site - and you can't buy it individually from them either....🤥

Thanks for the tip! I already stitched some with a substitute, and it looks alright. So we'll see how it goes! 😄

Hi can you please tell me the fabric count that you use on your Mira’s and your Bella Filipina. Since they have beads I’ve heard it’s best to go with a 28 if you choose a dyed fabric? Is that what you recommend as well.
Loved seeing all your progress especially on your Nene Thomas. I’ve bought a few of Paine Free Crafts Nene Thomas kits and I’m stitching the one called Three Sisters. I do a rotation on my 20 WIPs so I stitch on her every month but it’s a very large chart so not much done yet plus I’m in a high confetti area so that slows me down. I’ve also bought patterns from Nene Thomas website but I’ve not started one yet.
Enjoy your stitching and I’ll see you next time.

I believe my Miras are both 32 count, and the Bella Filipina is 28 count. It's hard to have a recommendation because all fabrics are different and some shrink more than others. I think if you are okay with sometimes removing a bead and clusters of beads looking messy, then 32 count is fine. Usually you can't tell how the beads lay from far away. However, if you like the beads to lay a little more neatly, then 28 count is better, but even that can be crammed sometimes. I go back and forth, and usually pick one or the other depending on my mood and the fabric color more than anything else.
Thanks for watching and for sharing your rotation info! ❤
