Fuzzy Wuzzy is a bear!

 And I don't mean the animal!

I have never had a linen thread break apart like this, no effort at all.  I have stronger kleenex!  All the times I've removed a thread by picking and pulling out the entire length of fabric for weaving back, never had one break.  If I rub it between my fingers, it shreds into fuzz. 

But I would like to attempt a patch, even if noticeable which may offer more of an aged look.   Removing a workable thread had to be done no more than an inch at a time to prevent breaking.  Once in the needle, it shredded and fell apart.  Now I'm getting ticked.  And more determined.

Finally have a thread of four inches to weave in, realize there are three broken, not just two.  I weave vertical, then turn horizontal beneath a stitch in the A to anchor, back down, turn, and up again.  And it's shredding, leaving fuzz everywhere, and now broken.  Guess what?  I will work it the best I can, complete the H over the repair, and then fuse the back with light interfacing to secure.  The entire piece will be fused when completed, not an issue.  To be continued.

 

The End.

If you are curious about using this count and don't want mottled or the expense for a piece that may not work out, head to Hobby Lobby.  Packaged counts of Aida and linen from Zweigart.  This is 46 in the color Oat, 11x18, for $5.99 which I purchased.  Love the color, but the second package of Oat was very pinkish, so there it stayed.  

Hope all is well with everyone.

Thanks for visiting.
