in red. From pink to orange to peach to maroon and back. Sometimes you get a skein of floss that is all over the place. Very light to way too dark to a hue that isn't close to the main color. This skein appeared very uniform along the lengths with slight variegation, but baby look at it stitched! Much more than I expected which is fine with me, just surprised.
If in the end I'm not happy with some peachy areas, I will very lightly dab with my barely touched brush from my Sepia Ranger ink pad. Yes I will. Do it all the time. It doesn't change the color, just tones it down slightly. But I think this will be just peachy keen.
Be careful!

The house looks wonderful! You are a brave lady!!
Looking great!
Oh that house is amazing... And you don't have to tell me about weird and radical variations... I do like the look for the most part...unless, as you know, there is variation and variegation from skein to skein of the variegated floss LOL. I have to confess that my range of extremes has made me thrown caution to the wind: Usually when working with particularly variegated floss I do not double a single strand of floss to make two threads when stitching 2 over 2...I take two separate strands and put them together...but I gave up and said what the heck in my current project....at least I will have the luxury of not having to bury the starting threads and that always makes me feel like I am getting away with something. ;-).
I use a diluted walnut dye to dab on my hooked rug sections which are too bright. Your sampler looks beautiful
You people are very brave to "retouch" you stitching! Your house is looking very good Marly. Take care all,
Oh I like it very much Marly!
The house is coming along, Marly! Interesting how the thread is stitching up!
I love your house. The red variation really reminds me of brick. It DOES have many degrees of shade change. I do really like it! Bravo.
I love it. Looks like red brick
Marly: I truly like the way it looks, like bricks and the shadows from clouds making it look beautiful.
Stay Healthy

Hi Marly,
I just LOVE HOUSES and this one is truly beautiful and really looks like an old brick house with its different shades!! Of course, I totally understand how it can actually look different in person, so by all means, do what will make you happy!! I love to age things so I understand that and do it, too!!!
Hope you and your family are all safe and well!!!
Heart Hugs~
