The Swan Reflections design is intricate in places so might be challenging for beginners. The design is worked from a chart and has a detailed instruction booklet which has step-by-step numbered diagrams and instructions to guide you through the blackwork patterns. This is a fun design to pass away some time. The design looks great in colour and variegated embroidery thread if you are not partial to black. Approximately 8 meters of a 6 strand embroidery thread is required for the embroidery. You can work the design on any size fabric. The original embroidery was worked on 32 count fabric over two threads of the fabric but you can work the embroidery on and a bigger count such as 14 or 16 count fabric and working the stitches over one thread of the fabric instead of two.
