Hello,

I have updated the information for this design so you should see it all listed there. This design will not have a supply list available because unfortunately, it requires floss that we do not sell on our website at this time such as the Caron Wildflowers thread and Rainbow Gallery Treasure Braid. Hope this helps :) Thank you!

Thanks Kristi, is anyone familiar with Caron Wildflowers thread and Rainbow Gallery Treasure Braid? I have been stitching for 30 years and have not heard of either of them. Any information would be helpful. Thanks

Caron Wildflowers thread is an over-dyed floss that has a good reputation. I haven't used it myself but other folks on this chat have made positive comments about it. The Rainbow thread I'm not so familiar with. Just be careful with specialty threads as some of them are not colorfast. If you google each brand of thread you should be able to get to a website that carries it and can give you more specific information.

I have used both of these specialty threads. No problem with either.
Caron Wildflowers is a very soft over-dyed floss. Remember, to do each full cross at the time, before you go to the next.
Rainbow Gallery Treasure Braid is similar to Krenik braid, but much easier to use, as it is polyester, not metallic. There is a conversion chart on line, if you prefer to use the Krenik.

Thank you both for that information, I found it very useful.

I did this pattern quite a while back. Read the directions carefully in regards to using the floss for the tree branches in the pattern. The directions (unless they have been changed) want you to stitch the specific color in the variegated floss on the ends of the tree branches to give them a specific look; not a difficult thing to do, just making sure you cut the floss in specific area so that color is placed correctly. My oldest son received the completed pattern.
