This sampler uses DMC floss to achieve the variegated look in the lighter mandalas, however using a variegated floss can achieve a similar look with less colour changes. The design is charted in blue, but with only 4 colours, it is easily customizable to your preference.
Counted cross stitch pattern. Stitch count: 143 x 124. Model stitched on 14ct White Aida using DMC floss and Mill Hill beads (02011).
