Hiya. This is the only linen order that has arrived, thought I would show you the difference in these two. I still wish the sellers would stack about five together so we can judge shade. One other shipped, another will tomorrow, and an Etsy order with 25% off most linens has not yet. If you want to check colors in that sale, here ya go.....
https://www.etsy.com/shop/FabricxThreads?ref=shop_sugg§ion_id=33945234 .
The Milk and Honey is more yellowish, the Cappuccino more neutral, slightly pinkish.
But I need to put a piece of tape over this green blob on the Cappuccino so I remember to stitch on the other side. Can't figure that out since it's not a yellowish linen.
I though FOAW had more mottling as PTP does. Very subtle, very nice. Except for the green. And quite crumpled compared to others so I will press before stitching. I tried to change one that looked more neutral on my ordering site after another site showed it light yellow, but it was too late. We'll see which in a few days!
Half of the tree grew back and all is well.
Have a good day.

My...how quickly your forest grows!! ;-) Yeah, ordering linen online is always a crapshoot...but it's really the only option for me. Our LNS does not carry any of the brand names, few hand-dyed, and few counts higher than 32. I received an order a few days ago...same exact color (supposedly), ordered at the same time...from the same place...only difference was one was 36ct and one 40ct (yes, both linen) and two totally different colors. I get it is hard to control hand-dyeds, but perhaps a photo showing the range maybe??? ~Robin~
So happy your tree is doing better! LOL! Cracked me up. Have a good day, Marly!
Tree is looking good. Beautiful colors in that sampler. Take care.
So right .... attempts at balancing the trees would not have worked...bless you your perseverance. That is going to be one special sampler. Hope your expected linens order
are the hues you want.
