Robin gives us a lesson on making perfect Jessicas on the Needlepoint Study Hall blog using a thread I've heard quite a few folks rave about--ThreadworX's Spanish Olives. A lot of fabulous stitchers are using this color in a variety of types of overdyed threads (perle cotton, floss, metallic and even wool). The second link shows you the color, although I think in real life it is a more complex mix of olive green shading into medium green. Alas, I have none to compare to the photo so I can't be sure. [Jane adds Spanish Olives to the shopping list for her yearly trip to the shops.]

Thank you for this Jane. I love Jessica and was always bothered by the way it ended as I finished it from the outside, never having the round look. It is good to learn something new.
This tip is straight from Robin. She gets all the credit!
