Because you are using 15 strands, you cannot blend two different DMC colors in the needle (it would be 30 strands and impossible). Instead, you “tumble” your threads: hold 5 strands of DMC 712 and 10 strands of DMC 746 together to create a marled, heathered effect.
: Because the project often uses pale threads, it is critical to wash your hands frequently to avoid staining the fiber. Light DMC shades show dirt and oils from skin very easily.
