Fabulous Fibers, Threadworx Legacy

I absolutely love this hairy fiber! It is just a hoot to work with and to see come to life in stitches. It is simply beautiful and Threadworx has made it available in some of the most gorgeous colors, fifty of them, so it can be used in a nice large variety of ways. Now it is different to use because it is so hairy (and sparkly!) but the extra time it takes to use it is so very well worth the effort.

Here is the link for Threadworx:

Legacy is a 100% Polymade fiber and comes in 10 yard skeins, and even though it looks delicate, it is actually very sturdy and once you get used to it can work up rather quickly. Here are examples:


Some beautiful colors of Legacy
 

Legacy used to be called Charleston. I did have some of the old
and new and stitched both for comparison. As you can see, the
newer version has more personality and hair! Half stitches worked
best on the 14 count Aida and can be adjusted to fit different counts.

A comparison of the two strands.

Yes it is messy when cut and the little fibers like to go
everywhere. LOL! A piece of paper towel catches the
strays quite nicely and keeps the work surface tidy. Use
a larger needle for this fiber as it helps to make a larger
hole so the fiber has less friction and wear and tear on it.

 I outlined Play Day with I believe three or four
rows of gorgeous blue Legacy! What a great
accent to add to give any project a little pizazz!

 

So I hope you enjoyed the look at this marvelous fiber! It was great fun playing with it and seeing the results turn out so happily. I can think of all kinds of uses for this, both traditional and non-traditional, so it is extremely versatile too. It can be purchased from a number of vendors online, and though a little pricey, it is worth every penny!

 

Until next time a thought nugget for you:
