MIAC colors

I finally made it to the LNS to get my canvas and threads for Mystery in a Corner. I already had the perle I wanted to use, a bright yellow Pebbly Perle, #P201. I had been thinking about using a brown or black canvas but saw this amazing yellow canvas at the shop and had to have it. Picking out which watercolor I wanted to use proved to be the most difficult. I kept running into the problem of there only being a single skein of the dye lot that I preferred. There was one called Royal Jewels that had a bright and vivid color scheme in one dye lot, however it was much darker and subdued in the other. After much going back and forth on several different colors, I finally decided on Cranberry. Next came the Impressions, which was considerably easier to choose. This is a royal purple, color # 6010. And on to the Krenik braid, two colors of #16 and two colors of #8: a set of white, #16 – color 191 and #8 – color 5555; a set of lavendar/light purple, #16 and #8 both color 093.
